Born to Sudanese immigrants in Toronto, Mustafa Ahmed first discovered his gift for writing while growing up in the city’s Regent Park community. He used poetry to dispel notions of who Black Muslims from Regent Park were with every stanza of his continuously celebrated poetry. He later realized his mission would be better served by amplifying the stories he’d collected over the years through song. Fast forward to 2025, with two critically acclaimed studio albums, his journey has just begun. In 2025, Mustafa collaborated with WePresent to create "Nour", a poetry publication on ceremony.
