Cactus Agony

BIO

Cactus Agony is a Zambian hip-hop and dancehall artist based in London, in the U.K. His music is a fusion of rap flows and chants commonly associated with reggae and dancehall music. His musical aspirations began in South London where he attained his art and writing skills from his friend Mr. Lopez. He has a hip-hop outfit called the Nappy Clinch Clan. Living in London's African Jamaican immigrant community gave him a better understanding of who he was, what he wanted to do and what he represented. This prompted him to come up with a title album called ‘Bush Territory’ (2013).

Shortly after the release of the album, he attended Middlesex University and returned home in 1999. In 2001, he became part of a Zambian based hip-hop label called Cypher Music for a year. The development heightened his presence on the Zambian music scene. This saw him working with artists such as Hugh Masekela, Brian Thompson, Oliver Mtukudzi, P-Square, J.K., Joe Angels, Mr. Switcher and many more.

In 2014, he held a number of performances. He performed at the Don Carlos reggae concert at Woodlands Stadium, Lusaka. He became part of the 4th Annual Zedway Splash reggae concert at Club Zed Lusaka. This was followed by the 2nd Kariba Music Festival. In that same year he opened the Luciano Concert in Zambia at Government complex Lusaka together with Admiral-P.
