Precious Pepala @ The Deaf Institute

Born and bred in Sheffield and with family roots in Zambia, Precious Pepala is quickly

becoming one of the industry's most exciting breakthrough artists. Her music is a blend of

alternative pop/rock with hints of soul/gospel drawn from her years growing up in church as a

pastor's daughter. Addressing important topics such as mental health and religious trauma,

Precious uses her lyrics and music to push big conversations. Being a 21 year old, black,

female artist who stands at just 5 feet tall she is, in her own words, “not the stereotypical

face of power or change”. However, thanks to her vocal power, songwriting talent and ever-

growing social media presence, she is quickly becoming a voice for her generation and will

undoubtedly continue to push the boundaries.
