About
Join the fun with local Hamilton musician Liam Tyndall, also known as LTtheMonk, as he leads an exciting youth-oriented rap-writing workshop and challenge! Dive into the vibrant world of rap and poetry, where you'll learn the ins and outs of rhyme schemes, wordplay, metaphors, and similes. By the end of the workshop, you'll have crafted your very own verse or song and be ready to rock the mic with your unique creation!
Originally from London, UK, and now living in Toronto, LTtheMonk fell in love with hip-hop at just 8 years old. Influenced by reggae from his Jamaican mother and rock from his Irish father, his eclectic musical upbringing shaped his passion for music and performing. Inspired by Michael Jackson, LT combines bantamweight Gene Kelly-meets-James Brown footwork and immaculate sport socks as key elements of his entertaining persona.
