ABOUT THIS ARTIST

Armed with spoken word songs that celebrate the beauty in the everyday, the Manchester poet is ticking off career milestones seemingly by the minute” - DIY (Class of 2024)

In only a short while, Antony Szmierek has captivated audiences with his thoughtful lyricism across rap, spoken word, and dance music. Hailed one of BBC 6 Music’s Artists of the Year for 2023, in the past eighteen months he made his television debut on Later… With Jools Holland, performed an entirely sold-out first ever UK headline tour and released two acclaimed EP’s ‘Poems To Dance To’ and ‘Seasoning’. He has had a string of A List singles on BBC 6 Music, a Maida Vale session for Future Artists on BBC Radio 1 and daytime support at the station as their Introducing Track of the Week.

Szmierek says the ultimate mission of his music is to let others know that this is all possible.
