Ee'da Brahim

From rural to urban, ancient to contemporary, Ee'da's work encapsulates diversity. She is a spoken-word performance artist, a dancer, an arts educator and a musician. Her sound traverses hip-hop, soul, folk, reggae and electronica, bound together by a unique style resonating with vitality, passion and grace.

She sources her art mostly from personal experiences and transmutes adversity into artistic offerings to sooth the soul.

Her art has been performed on stages like the Arts Centre, United Nations Conference opening at the Exhibition Centre, the legendary Bowery Poetry Club NYC, National Day Celebrations in Aajmer, India, The Silveroom in Chicago, and the Federation Square in Australia.

She has presented her works on RRR and PBS, published her work on Rebelle Society. In 2012, at the Sydney Harmony International Short Film Festival, she earned the title of Most Original Concept for 'Fade to white', a spoken word piece discussing the disturbing practice of skin-bleaching among women of colour.

Ee'da has worked with a broad range of established musicians including Illuminati Congo(US), Cyclonious (UK), Hugo(AU), DJ Nomad(NZ), Mista Savona(AU) Caveman(JM) and has supported international acts such as Lyrics Born and Dead Prez. 

She is the Founder and Creative Director of Sisters for Sisters (SFS), a women’s arts and music collective that spearheads fundraising initiatives for worthy causes locally and abroad. Most recently, she was awarded the ‘Victoria’s Multicultural Awards for Excellence’ from the Government House for her engagement in community work.

She may wear many hats but Ee'da is driven by a singular passion – to live a purposeful life, living for the love of music, community, the arts and the simple power of expression.
