I'm Aleksi, a youth worker and a part-time rap artist. I also enjoy doing meditation, yoga, philosophizing with friends and strangers, dancing and reading just to name a few things! I love music and especially black music such as hip hop, jazz and soul. I'm also doing some political activism to promote anti-racism and multiculturality and i'm also interested in environmental issues.

As a person I like to have conversations, make jokes and to be around people. I'm into the comedy of life (not forgetting the tragedy either) and that's why I'm usually seeing things through a comedic lense and thus making a few jokes here in there about things I find funny!
