Degie: PPL Momentum Accelerator

“My name’s Degie. As one of the founding members of Rap Collective – Motto Estate, I’ve been making a name for myself as an individual artist, storyteller and wordsmith and as the self proclaimed ‘hottest prospect out the NorthWest’. Born in Spain, raised in The Netherlands and adopted by both Liverpool and Manchester, I’ve got ties all over. After a year or two of doing shows across the country with the collective, spreading the good word of Motto Estate, I’ve been honing in on my solo sound by dropping 3 strong tracks in 2022 with the very thought-provoking ‘Slow Burner’, ‘Ciao Bella’ debuted on BBC Introducing and finally my biggest track to date – ‘What I’m Working On’. The grant will do bits for my next works as it’s brought a sense of freedom when it comes to creating what I want without compromising on how I want it done.”
