Denzel Himself
LONDON, UK
Gothic hardcore rapper whose DIY approach breaks boundaries
Musician and rapper Denzel Himself hails from Outer-London and has pioneered a distinctive new sound. He describes his main creative objective as “expressing my mind and inner-world with as little external interference as possible”. This results in Denzel directing, writing and producing all of his own work. His elusive and talented squad Set Count also features the eclectic KEYAH/BLU.
“Denzel has his roots in the dance form Krump and you can see this in his energetic delivery, seeing him perform live is an experience and the performance is created in the relationship between him and his audience. During the lockdown a highlight has been his self-directed videos which represent raw and unfiltered expression.”
