Writing Workshop

February 19, 2022

Koudjo, co-founder of QCLTUR, a Montreal-based media that aims to energize the French-speaking world, will facilitate the first workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to write in the context of hip-hop culture. The workshop aims to inspire an interest to write in French and sharpen each participant's sensibility through a collective expressive work via poetry and rhymes. The workshop will train the imagination and open the mind to the joy of expressing oneself in the French language.

Presented by QCLTUR and made possible by the Government of Canada:




Speakers

Koudjo
A music producer and an entrepreneur, Koudjo is best known for his work with international rappers Booba, Jul, Nekfeu, Youssoupha, as well as local artists Fouki, Sarahmée, Connaisseur, and Racoon. He produced and sold over 700,000 albums worldwide and started PS23, his publishing company, through a joint venture with Warner Chappell in 2014. In 2019, he co-founded QCLTUR, a Montreal-based media platform that promotes arts and culture.

Raccoon
Haitian vibe, American flow, European textual refinement, Raccoon brings back the diaspora and mixes it into a colourful and powerful shock wave. Despite his innate charisma and smile, which wipes away the caricatured attitude of the uncompromising or aggressive rapper, he knows how to be taken seriously by his presence and unwavering confidence.

Misa
Rapping since he was young, Misa has collaborated with some of the biggest names in French rap: Sofiane, Seth Gueko, Shreez, Imposs, and Lost. In 2012, he attracted the attention of the French rap public with his EP Nouveau Rebeu. In 2020, he launched Freestyle Friday, a new series that remixes a popular production weekly. A versatile artist, his texts address the themes of failure, success, and love.
