Born on the island of St. Vincent in the E. Caribbean. Vusi moved to England as a child where he is now a fashion designer and university lecturer in design.

He has worked for many years in the area of African culture and identity, concentrating on issues around what Europe terms 'popular culture. ' His specialism areas are music, dance and style.

He has worked alongside independent political organisations in England such as the Pan African Congress Movement and the All African Peoples Revolutionary Party, supporting their work if not all of their aims.

Much of his work is done independently. He helped to found and now chairs two local charities one in the area of community arts the other in the area of African peoples cultural and community development. He personally runs projects in Sound Systems, dance and cultural identity.

 

Vusi has taught African culture and identity in prisons, community centres, universities and on the street corner (a venue was booked but the group weren't allowed to enter at the last minute. The audience wanted the talk anyway).

He has spoken at national and international conferences including keynote speeches. He has made numerous television and radio broadcasts, published papers and written newspaper articles.

Currently Vusi is researching issues of cultural oppression and harmony in fashion. The research explores notions of beauty, style and taste across European and African cultures using the dancehall as a medium. The outcome (expected 2005) will be a collection of garments.
