About this Event

A moment of grounding for all the sensitive souls and over thinkers. Is a watch party, rest and inspiring space. To connect with Black queer artist AKA KELZZ to showcase their newest release BLACK HOLE. The focus is conversation around mental health, community, showing up, not at the extent of ourselves. Inviting Cat Jones to join the conversation and discuss their work “The Art of Transition" moderated by Fwá.

AKA KELZZ is a queer non-binary interdisciplinary artist crafting genre-blending soundscapes across alternative R&B, soul, reggae, house, and electronic music. Rooted in emotional honesty and radical vulnerability, their music is both a balm and a battle cry, a celebration of self, community, and healing. Their work channels the intimate soul of Lianne La Havas, the lyrical exploration of Little Simz, and the sonic nostalgia of Sade, infused with forward-thinking energy. Currently, Kelzz is in the studio working on new music. Following the success of their self-released debut album in 2024, which received international recognition, they are focused on rebuilding their career and collaborating with like-minded artists to develop their artistry and sustainable creative output. Upcoming singles are planned from September 2026, featuring collaborations with long-time partner Rafa Mura, Lucy Liebe, and the instrumental trio Nujakasha. AKA KELZZ aims to establish a sustainable career that supports their mental health and ongoing creative growth.
