On this episode of Trybe Talks, Nyah sits down with Reks — rapper, songwriter, event organiser and founder of Reks and the Mandem — to unpack how a spontaneous kitchen session snowballed into a polished live platform championing both emerging and established artists. Reks shares why he builds stages that prioritise artist experience and takeaways (“content is king”), and how collaboration, craft and high standards turned a grassroots idea into a growing ecosystem.

They dive into the real juggle: raising a six-year-old and a two-year-old while running a creative brand. Reks keeps it honest about sacrifice, missing the mark sometimes, and course-correcting with presence and routine — reading time, shows, football in the park. His “parent superpower”? Communication: staying genuinely connected so kids feel seen and involved, from set-ups to studio days.

It’s a conversation about backing yourself, building your village, and remembering why you started — even when bills, deadlines and late nights stack up. If you’re a creative parent trying to balance nappies with new releases, this one’s for you.
