About Isaac Borquaye

Musician, author, broadcaster. Full of passion and charisma, I'm a triple MOBO award-winning rapper with my latest album hitting No. 1 on the Official Rap Charts in 2023. The themes in my songs coupled with success has positioned me as an influential and important voice within British rap music.As a celebrated author and fast rising broadcaster, I've appeared numerous times on television to present and discuss topics from football to issues that affect young people. My sophomore book Unspoken: Toxic Masculinity and How I Faced the Man Within the Man (2021) is an Amazon bestseller. Discussing the ideas of male identity through personal tragedy, Unspoken is a powerful and frank look at toxic masculinity. George The Poet cited Unspoken as a “revealing and relatable memoir” and Benjamin Zephaniah described it as “a book of liberation”. I also recently launched a children’s book series, acquired by Hodder. I regularly present radio programmes for the BBC. Show's include Radio 4's Pick of the Week and guesting on Radio 2's Zoe Ball's Breakfast Show. My television work has seen me appear regularly on Sky Sports and I freelance as a presenter for West Ham United.Passionate about giving young people the best opportunity to reach their full potential, I set up the Allo Mate Development Programme which is a course for up-and-coming artists to gain practical skills and insight, setting them up for a sustainable career in the arts.
