Prowess’ artistic and diplomatic roots cultivated her natural gift as a performer sharing the stage with legends like The Wu-Tang Clan, KRS-One, Citizen Cope, Cody ChesnuTT, Pharoahe Monch, and more as an emerging presence in the indie hip hop scene. Following the path of the greats, Prowess was gifted her moniker by the legendary KRS-One, following a standout performance during one of the elder statesman’s ‘Hip Hop Appreciation Week’ events. She has been featured on albums with MF DOOM and Aloe Blacc. Prowess took hiatus to pursue alternative artistic ventures and to work in sub-Saharan Africa on a research grant funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation integrating arts and music in digital health with storytelling.
