Auckland: Creative Storytelling with L-FRESH The LION

L-FRESH The LION is Sukhdeep Singh Bhogal, a Sikh kid from South West Sydney who grew up on American hip hop and wanted something that sounded like his own life.

Since then he’s supported Nas on his first Australian tour, picked up an ARIA nomination, sat on Australia’s jury at Eurovision, and played Central Park’s SummerStage. He also founded Conscious, a program that backs hip-hop artists from Western Sydney.

Why we want him in the room: he built a career without sanding down who he is. Most of us are taught to leave that at the door at work. On Mon 16 Nov, he’ll show us how to do the opposite: how to tell your story, and why it’s your edge. And there's food, as always. Good food.
