ABOUT
Hip Hop & Barbells is a movement built for creatives in the culture. From emcees to DJs, breakdancers to beatmakers, we are having real conversations about breath control, injury prevention, recovery, mindset, training, nutrition and how to stay sharp in a scene that never slows down.
This project is geared towards helping people in the industry build stronger bodies, develop healthier habits, and live longer-lasting lives and careers.
Watch some of our interviews to learn more about how some of your favourites have incorporated health and wellness into their lives.
THE CREATOR
Oh, hello! I’m Kezi — DJ, music producer, personal trainer, fascial stretch therapist, and registered holistic nutritionist.
I’ve been immersed in both the music and fitness industries for nearly two decades. Since 2002, I’ve DJ’d across Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener, and even London, England, living the fast-paced lifestyle that comes with nightlife and performance.
In 2015, I transitioned into fitness, coaching everyone from everyday clients to competitive athletes in powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting, with successful athletes at both OPA and OWA meets.
As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist with a focus on hormone health, and a Fascial Stretch Therapist, I bring a full-spectrum view of wellness to this culture.
I started Hip Hop & Barbells to give back to the community that shaped me. Helping artists, dancers, and DJs move better, live healthier and perform at their best.
