The hip-hop artist HeatWave was born in Lesotho, South Africa. When he was
five years old, his family wanted more opportunities for him, so they decided to
move to Vancouver, Canada. The city is full of talented hip-hop artists, but it’s
rare to see an artist so active in helping his community as HeatWave.
His real name is Emmanuel Matovu, so where does the name HeatWave come
from? Well, since he was young, HeatWave has always loved rap music. One
hot summer day, he took part in a rap competition and won. From then on,
everyone called him HeatWave because it was hot, and so was his rapping!
HeatWave’s other love is basketball. He has played and competed in many
basketball camps since the age of 11. He says basketball has taught him to be
disciplined, to work hard, learn teamwork and be patient.
When HeatWave was 15, he moved to Seattle on his own to develop his
basketball career. He played basketball six days a week and took part in rap
groups at the teen centre there. He says that experience always made him
remember how important it is to provide cool programmes and activities for
kids.
HeatWave loves his city and wants to help the young people there. Every
summer, he organises a charity event, the HeatWave Classic, to help the young
people from Vancouver’s poor areas go to basketball camps, or to art or music
schools. It takes place at Britannia Community Centre and includes a basketball
tournament and a concert. People donate money and all the artists perform on
stage for free. This event gives the city’s young artists and athletes the
opportunity to enjoy music and sport together.
HeatWave has made a significant contribution to his community. He hopes to
inspire other people like him to do the same.
