Hip-hopping my Identity

Finding your identity within hip hop—That’s what handwash is doing with every verse!

This Hong Kong-born singer-songwriter dives deep into the unique blend of British and Chinese culture in the place he called home. Now based in Vancouver, he is exploring how culture extends beyond his birth place, and how diaspora informs his own creativity.

Through a mix of storytelling and music sampling, handwash will share how he is finding his identity through Cantonese hip hop. He will also share about the growing community of other Asian diaspora hip hop artists in the Yellow Fire Academy.
