Cakeswagg

By day, she inspires Boston's youth as a theater teacher; by night, she channels those skills into her explosive alter ego, Cakeswagg. Hailing from Boston's Roxbury neighborhood, Cakeswagg’s performance at the 2024 Boston Calling Music Festival was praised by The Boston Globe as "highly dynamic and loads of fun," noting her "massive personality and infectious energy." Not only does Cakeswagg deliver powerhouse performances at major festivals, but she is also deeply embedded within Boston’s local music community, winning the crowd-voted "Master of the Chamber" battle-rap event and delivering the closing performance at the 2024 Boston Music Awards, where she also won “Video of the Year.”

As a theater teacher, Cakeswagg is shaping Boston’s next generation of artists. In association with Boch Center, Cakeswagg teaches theater to students across Boston Public Schools from elementary to high school. With the Huntington Theatre Company, Cakeswagg teaches August Wilson monologues, introducing students to the rich cultural narratives inherent in Wilson's acclaimed works.

Cakeswagg’s latest album, Michelin Star, named after the prestigious culinary rating, reflects her artistic growth since her 2018 debut. Stepping beyond the lyrical rap she’s known for, the album explores influences from rock to R&B and features her singing for the first time, showcasing her versatility and offering something fresh for fans, both old and new.
