The LAVWAY Story

Muhammad Muwakil

SHOW CO WRITER

“I am an Artist. I’ve always been an Artist, my greatest tragedy is not knowing it earlier but that is also probably the greatest gift given to me by the Universe. Nothing amazing is born out of ease. My story is one of searching. I enrolled in university to study Civil Engineering but quickly realized that it wasn’t for me so I transitioned to Theatre Arts. It didn’t take me long to discover the freedom that comes with true self-expression. Once I tasted that everything else became bland and unsatisfactory. I began to believe in my own power and I sought to find the fullness of myself. That journey led me to spoken word and then ultimately, to music. Freetown Collective is about freedom. Our ancestors worked hard for us to have the luxury of choice and what we choose determines the strength of our link in an unbroken chain. I am here ultimately to create a world in which people are free to be their unedited selves and aim for the highest manifestation of whatever that may be. Love over everything else.”-
