Mace The Great

Date TBA

An exciting force of Grime and Hip-Hop, hailing from Cardiff, Wales. Having won a Triskel Award at the Welsh Music Prize 2020, and garnering the support of the likes of BBC 1Xtra, BBC Wales, ITV, S4C and the Focus Wales Festival & Conference; Mace The Great is now primed for a huge 2022.

He continues to carry Cardiff on his shoulders with pride, and this evident love he holds for his city is reciprocated tenfold by his local community. Keeping humble and true to his roots, he is quickly building the foundations towards global success following on from the critically acclaimed EP ‘My Side Of The Bridge’ released March 2021 via the MTGM label.

Since the release he has gone on to be nominated for a Welsh Music Prize 2021, been unveiled as the Welsh Ambassador for Independent Venue Week, attended the Mobo Awards as part of Unsung Class 22, selected to be the first Welsh Mobo artist to perform and showcase at SXSW 2022 and sold out his first highly anticipated ‘Homecoming’ headline show!
