Chisara Agor

Wordplay, storytelling, hip-hop and soul all share the stage in this edition of our free twice-monthly music series, platforming exciting new musicians. Chisara Agor is an interdisciplinary artist from Peckham. An award-winning composer, producer and writer, Agor’s sound combines elements of afro-folk, soul, pop, indie and jazz, creating a sound and unconventional arrangements that are truly their own. A graduate of Philosophy and Languages and with a strong music, dance and performance background, Chisara’s work reaches into meaning; from the politics of visibility, to exploring love, refuge and solidarity. Rapper, singer and producer J Casa pairs poetic wordplay and storytelling with jazz inspired hip-hop beats. Musically inspired by his upbringing in East London during the 1990s, and the multitude of musical genres he was exposed to by his father, he brings an individual take to the ever-blossoming London hip-hop scene.
