Get set for some unique talent to hit the stage at the Emerge in the West festival street party in Footscray this weekend.
Rapper P-UniQue, otherwise known as Piath Mathiang (pictured), will be part of an eclectic line-up highlighting the best young performers of African heritage who call Melbourne’s west home.
Born in north Sudan before moving to Melbourne at the age of five, Mathiang says she uses music to express her feelings.
“I love music because it’s a better way to address issues and express yourself freely through rhythm,” she said.
When not weaving fresh rhymes, Mathiang is busy undertaking international studies at Victoria University and acting. “I have done TV shows such as Sunshine, Romper Stomper and Nowhere Boys season 4,” she said.
