Bio

 

Having been raised in a council flat to parents of Algerian and Japanese descent in North Kensington, Peaky Saku has always faced dichotomies in his perspective.

​

He found his passion for music during his mid-teens, and after winning a full scholarship to Charterhouse school, he learnt to make rap music for those that don’t like it. As soon as he left school, Peaky self-funded an independent tour in California, where he performed alongside Bone Thugz n Harmony and Devin the Dude.

​

After returning to the UK with a fresh perspective, his neighbouring block Grenfell set alight due to horrific government neglect, and after candidly condemning gentrification in a BBC interview that went viral, he began to find his voice in public speaking. This led to speaking opportunities at Oxford and SOAS Universities, as well as performances at Jeremy Corbyn’s 2017 parliament square rally and 2 F*ck Boris marches.

​

Now, after a brief hiatus, Peaky Saku prepares for the release of his forthcoming EP, Her
Majesty's University of Crime.
