Afropunk LLC Information

AFROPUNK was founded in 2002 to give a voice to thousands of multicultural kids considered outsiders in their communities. Today, the notion of AFROPUNK has evolved and comprises a particular force within greater youth culture. Afropunkers are creative, expressive people who speak through music, art, film, sports, fashion, photography and more. Described by the New York Times as putting “rock and rebellion squarely in the category of African-American music,” the AFROPUNK Festivals in Paris, London, Atlanta, Brooklyn and Johannesburg intuition and the focal point for the burgeoning Afropunk movement. Over the past seven years, the Afropunk Festival has established its position as a platform for musical artists on-the-verge of hitting it big, such as Grammy-nominated Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, D'Angelo, TV on the Radio, Santigold, and Janelle Monae. AFROPUNK mainstays like Saul Williams, The Dirtbombs, Mos Def, and Bad Brains have also graced Afropunk’s stages.
