Manchester rapper and poet OneDa takes the stage for an exclusive live session at SXSW!

Fusing hip-hop, drum and bass, and her Nigerian heritage with her Manchester roots, OneDa has been making waves with her debut album Formula OneDa and the recent Re-formula OneDa EP. Beyond her music, she’s a community advocate, leading hip-hop therapy sessions for East Manchester youth and spearheading the HERchester project for women, non-binary and transgender MCs.

Watch her perform two of her tracks: 'Superstar' and 'Leader'.
