“Secret Solstice is a hip hop oriented festival which is perfect for my portfolio and [an] excellent opportunity to introduce hip hop with African taste to the West. [I am] very excited to be the first Malawian artist to this festival,” expressed the Proudly African rapper.

He further revealed: “My connect who lives in Iceland strongly recommended me to the festival because of my intensive work in Malawi and other countries.

According to the lineup of acts on the Secret Solstice website, there are close to 100 artists mainly from the U.S. and Europe billed to perform at the festival.

American Rock heavyweights, Foo Fighters, are as well part of the impressive bill of artists, which also features English electronic legends The Prodigy and Richard Ashcroft, hip hop group Foreign Beggars, and Chicago house legend Kerri Chandler.

In addition to performing at the festival, Tay Grin, who is the UN Women Malawi ‘HeForShe’ campaign champion, disclosed he plans to have an event in Iceland to raise awareness among Icelanders of Malawian girls’ challenges.
