Fekky: from Hood2Farm

Available for over a year

The rapper, Fekky, has become an unlikely celebrity in the farming industry. His programme, Hood2Farm, has racked up millions of views online, documenting his journey from the London music scene to life in rural Cambridgeshire. Fekky started his music career in Lewisham, south London, whilst stuck at home wearing an ankle tag having got in trouble with the police. Since then he has toured the world and worked with some of the biggest names in UK music. During the pandemic he connected with his fanbase by filming his battle with his previously neglected garden and posting it on social media. The experience sparked in him a deep love of nature which saw him leave London for the countryside. It wasn’t long before he developed a fascination with farming and in his YouTube programme he visits farmers across Britain to learn about their craft, with the hope of coming home and building a farm of his own. Fekky has brought a whole new audience to the countryside and wants to see more people from poor urban backgrounds get out of the city. Presented and produced by Theo Whyte.
