Growing up in one of the UK’s most underserved areas; The Leys, in Oxford, Rawz first discovered lyric writing in his early teens. It was an essential way to channel his emotions and organise his thoughts. A self guided therapy. This was his entry into Artistry and creativity, a central passion of his life that was almost snuffed out by formal education. Rawz always found comfort and sanctuary through drawing and making, as his practice as a Poet and Musician developed, he began to revisit other forms of expression; experimenting with a range of mediums and combining these skills with his poetry, music and other interests to create conceptual mixed media projects.

Through Art, Rawz shares his exploration of interconnection and interdependence, of the human experience. His responses promote outer change and advancement through inner reflection, and positive action. Often inspired by juxtaposition, and looking at the common ground shared by elements that are usually considered to be unrelated or opposed to one another, Rawz presents cohesive comparisons and connections regarding aspects of life that can conventionally be viewed as disparate.
