Adjei began performing poetry at 16. Themes of his poetry include mental health, masculinity, identity, and love.  In 2021, he performed for Ted X Youth Birmingham. In 2022, Adjei performed internationally at the Dubai World Expo and has also performed for international audiences to open BBC World Questions, and to welcome the Queen’s Baton into Victoria Square for the Queen’s Baton Relay Birmingham Homecoming Celebration.

 

As an organiser Adjei has been producing events for 3 + years to engage young people in Birmingham in causes around them. In 2022 he began a series of discussion and concert events which involve the use of the arts and discussion to open conversations around masculinity, gender, and mental health. In September 2022, Adjei had one of his pieces in an art exhibition for the first time. It was titled Small Pockets and was presented as part of Birmingham 2022 Festival and #AsWeSpeak22.
