Our #MCM is Kuda Rice, a Zimbabwean writer and storyteller. His storytelling is mainly portrayed through poetry and spoken word, which he fuses with different art forms such as music, fashion, and visual art to bring out not only creative ideas but ideas that convey a message to people.

At just twenty-five, Kuda Rice is making an exigent impact on Zimbabwean poetry, fashion and art.

The multi-disciplinary artist is most known for his exploits as a poet. Even he has lost count of the spoken word performances he has delivered on stages around Zimbabwe.

In 2022, he released a pristine combination of music and poetry titled Beneath the Veil EP.

The six-track project explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. It is a powerful and moving exploration of the human condition.

The poet’s expanding reach in creative circles has earned him a budding modeling career. To date, he has worked with notable brands like Fungai Muzoroza, Savage (SVG), Vanessa Hodza, and The Advocate.

Kuda’s meteoric rise is a testament to his talent and hard work. He is a gifted wordsmith with a unique ability to capture the human experience in his poetry.

His work is both thought-provoking and moving; and it has resonated with audiences around the world.

And Zimbabwe has been taking notice. He has worked with renowned artists such as Tahle weDzidza and Bryan K. He was also nominated for the Outstanding Poet at the 2022 NAMA Awards
