Vendor Biography

Stephen Gawking is the brainchild of Ijay Swanepoel. He discovered not only a passion for wordplay and lyricism but also uncovered his dormant talent as a lyricist. Challenged by Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), he added his own personal spin to the project. These attributes eventually became the building blocks for Stephen Gawkingโ€”The Nuclear Lyricist.

โ€œThere are so many people and things that are causing division in this world. I want Stephen Gawking to be the opposite of that, and bring people of all cultures, backgrounds, and more together. A symbol of hope and inspiration to those who are disabled, different, oppressed, bullied, and everyone in between.โ€
