The video features spoken words by Ghanaian-British, Isaac Nartey, a BAFTA Award-winning creator.
On June 6, 2021, the 2021 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) was held, and Life & Rhymes of Sky Arts was declared as the best entertainment programme, beating off competition from Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway (ITV), Strictly Come Dancing(BBC One) and The Masked Singer (ITV)
Life & Rhymes is UK’s first dedicated spoken word TV show, which first aired on Sky Arts on November 4, 2020.
The co-creator and associate producer of the BAFTA award-winning spoken word show is Isaac George Tetteh Nartey – a poet and public speaker who loves to inspire and impact the lives of young people.
At the age of 18, Isaac co-founded an entertainment company Stepping Stonez LTD with his friends – Serge Rashidi-Zakuani and Anthony Boakye-Mensah. They provided entertainment in the areas of theatre, TV and film, also organised inspirational programmes for schools.
The Brunel University alumnus also founded InKingsWords in 2012 to provide high impact performances at corporate events, educational institutes and conferences, poetry workshops and events facilitation.
He later in 2015 got the opportunity to work at Sky UK Limited as a Sky Academy Leader, providing a unique experience for young people on what it’s like to work on TV… and that’s where he birthed the idea for Life & Rhymes.
