What happens when a promising footballer switches tracks to become an award-winning music artist? Jovanni Sterling, also known as Graft, shares his captivating story with us. From his early days navigating the neighbourhoods of Leeds and the impact of his parents' separation, to overcoming the challenges in his football career, Jovannis journey is one of resilience and passion. You'll hear how his transition from football to music was far from smooth, but with the support of his teammates and coaches, he found solace and success in his true calling.
Get ready to be inspired as Jovanni recounts the intense pressure of winning BBC Three's The Rap Game UK Season 2 and the meaningful messages he seeks to deliver through his music. Interestingly, his experiences in high-pressure football environments helped him adapt and thrive in the music competition scene. Jovanni also sheds light on his dedication to social issues and creating music that resonates deeply with listeners, focusing on the influences around him and the desire to address the struggles faced by youth.
But that's not all. Jovanni also talks about his love for the great outdoors and how this passion led him to create the Come Outside running community. During lockdown, he felt the need for an inclusive space where people from various backgrounds could come together and support each other through activities like running and hiking. By fostering a sense of community and enhancing mental well-being, Jovanni's initiative is making a positive impact far beyond the music scene. Join us and feel the positive energy Jovanni brings to every aspect of his life and work.
