How does spoken word reshape the way we experience dance music?
Lazarusman is a South African spoken word artist, DJ, and Grammy-nominated collaborator who has worked with some of the most respected names in electronic music, including Stimming, Âme, and Booka Shade. Born in Soweto to Mozambican parents who fled civil war, Lazarusman’s journey is one of resilience, identity, and creative defiance.
What began as a search for belonging in post-apartheid South Africa evolved into a mission to fuse poetry with house music, crafting thought-provoking textures that resonate on dance floors worldwide. From being rejected by local labels to commanding stages across Europe and beyond, he shares candid insights on finding his voice, overcoming industry pressures, and staying true to his art.
“If you trade your truth for acceptance, you give away your freedom.”
