Biography

Roger Steffens has hailed this performer as Canada’s leading dub poet, one whose all-female band delivers the same forceful punch and boundary-pushing range long associated with Dennis Bovell. The words crackle with the crisp snap of chewing gum, laid over instrumental foundations that fit them without a seam.
