As one of five sons of a much sought-after principal of day schools, Yossi has lived in many cities in North America. He started off life in Baltimore, his mother’s hometown, and moved as a baby to Dallas, Texas where his father, Rabbi Steinman, was the principal of the Hebrew High School. At the age of three, the family moved to Toronto, where they lived for seven years. His father was principal of Yesodei HaTorah, and then Eitz Chaim in that city. When Yossi was ten the family moved to Boca Raton, Florida, where his father was the principal of the Torah Academy. The latest move was to Los Angeles, his father’s home state, where Yossi completed 11th and 12th grades at the Ner Aryeh Yeshiva in the Valley. Yossi’s father is now retired from being a school principal, and is engaged in real estate management.

Verbal (rapper)

Zainichi Korean rapper (born 1975)

Verbal (born August 21, 1975) is a Japanese rapper, music video director and record producer who debuted in 1998 as a member of the hip hop group M-Flo. He is a third generation Zainichi Korean and a notable representative of Zainichi Korean music in Japan.

M-Flo's hits in the early 2000s, such as "How You Like Me Now?" and "Come Again" led to Verbal rapping and producing a wide range of acts in Japan such as Crystal Kay, BoA, Kumi Koda and Namie Amuro.

Verbal is also a member of other hip hop groups such as Mic Banditz and Teriyaki Boyz and has worked with Kanye West, Pharrell and Kylie Minogue amongst many others.

Verbal is also the chairman of music label Espionage Records (an imprint of Rhythm Zone under Avex Group), production agency Kozm and has a fashion brand called Ambush, co-founded w

London-based South African artist Nakhane agreed to meet with me virtually to discuss their latest album Bastard Jargon. Being on the free Zoom platform, I didn’t expect the meeting to last any longer than the allotted 40 minutes. So fruitful was the kindred connection that we ended up hacking the system by simply starting our session again. 

Born on the 3rd of February 1988, in Alice, a small Eastern Cape town, Nakhane attended school in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth). Raised in a strict Christian family, they have always been drawn to music and were often cast as the lead in their school choir. At 15, Nakhane moved to Johannesburg and was soon immersed in its open mic scene. All this propelled the artist into a musical odyssey that has paved the way for their recognition on the global stage.

Growing up identifying as gay in a conservative environment, the artist’s journey was undoubtedly challenging. At 19 years old, they openly declared their sexual orientation, only to be subjected to the harrowing torment of conversion therapy—an experience that left them burden
