Preach Ankobia (SFA Montréal)
Representing from Montreal Quebec; Preach Ankobia is Artist poet radio personality and youth worker. Even though he based out of the NDG community Preach finds him self in all parts of Montreal connecting and building with the people and creating tangible opportunities for aspiring individuals.
Ankobia – He who leads in battle, setting the standard for courage and commitment.
Known as the official M.C of the Kalmunity Vibes Collective and a relentless networker, Preach has quickly gained a name locally as the person to see not to just get from A to B in Montreal, but to also understand Montreal.
Not just a man with a mic in front of a DJ, Preach is dedicated to bringing back hip hops integrity and brings a commanding and charismatic presence to any stage with his 5 piece band whom weaves an unforgettable vibe in most of the over 400 public appearances he has made over the last 7 years.
In the summer of 2008 Preach connected with the Stolen From Africa movement out in Toronto and quickly became the offical SFA montreal representative giving SFA Media insights and cultural documentation opportunities within the various under serviced communities of Montreal, Quebec.
Owner of AnkobiaOne Entertainment (Formerly YoungStar United Records) and the developing Crystal Sound Lab and The Scents of Life Arts and Health center, Preach is comfortable wearing many hats and continues to stack them up with his vigorous work ethic.
From being a dancehall and club DJ at the tender age of 14 to releasing a bevvy of singles on radio, appearing on mix tapes and compilations, releasing 2 music videos and his debut album “Voice of the Streets” locally, pushing the careers of local artists such as Fredy V, Ceasrock and Jonathan Emile, co-producing and co-hosting Ckut 90.3fms Soul Perspectives, producing and promoting countless events to promote hip hop culture and transcending the music to become a youth worker and aid in the construction of the Jeunesse 2000 hip hop program with head and hands, it’s almost hard to believe that this young veteran still has years to go before he smells his thirtieth birthday.
So what’s next for Preach Ankobia? We invite you to join us on his journey to see for yourself.
