Sachém (a name given to the native American chief from the Mohegan tribe of the North East of the USA) is neither a chief nor a leader of any tribe, but his name speaks of truth because he is the frontline First Nation/African American leader. He is a talented artist, songwriter, and orator.
He has been featured on many shows worldwide, invited to speak on different platforms, and has done a couple of spoken-word poetry pieces that combine his most significant works. His latest EP, “Part of the Picture,” released on May 20th, features most of these excellent productions. Back in 2017, Sachém emerged winner of the Oodgeroo Noonuccal Poetry Prize through Queensland Poetry Festival. His talent continues to win him a lot of fans who come to his shows to see him perform live. With Sachém, you can expect to be enamored by his ingenious gift, conflicted and exhausted amidst a turbulent battle of ego, monetary gain, and self-discovery. All these attributes manifest in all his performances.
Sachém laces rhymes with personal stories while touching on poignant social & cultural issues that have and continue to impact his life. His video to his single “Democracy” featuring Nenjah Nycist is a perfect example of how he urges his beliefs through rap lyrics and sends his message to the world.
