On this week's episode, Sam and Teresa interview musician whoswyLee over a glass of pomegranate San Pellegrino. whoswyLee (also known as “feat wyLee”) is a Zimbabwean-South African multi-disciplinary artist based in Johannesburg. Their artistic sense of self is ever evolving and at this time what motivates their work is to sonically capture the present. “My mind is always in past or in the future,” says wyLee, “but I want to get better at being here and using my music or art to reflect right now.” According to them, life right now sounds like “measured chaos” as they continue to embark on the journey of learning to heal themselves. “That includes pain,” wyLee says, “a deep uncovering. But it also includes embracing play and experimentation. It includes learning to appreciate all of me and attempting to arrive in full to the art I’m making.” They claim this accounts for why engaging with their work means witnessing them encounter themselves through a variety of genres and creative mediums. Since the start of their career, the self-proclaimed “wordy ass nigga” has opened for AlunaGeorge, D.R.A.M., Mykki Blanco, Bbymutha & Dounia and have appeared on the Huffington Post show “BARS.”
