“Looking at something large feels impossible – but it can be accessible.”
This February, Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation is taking an all-star cast of artists, educators, and facilitators to Tanzania to deliver our creative education programmes — using music and art to build skills, confidence, and hope.
Joining us on this journey is Peachzz, a street artist from Sheffield whose work brings colour, storytelling, and human connection to overlooked urban spaces. Discovering spray painting in forgotten industrial sites across the UK and Europe, Peachzz has spent over a decade breathing life into walls — transforming concrete into narratives rooted in nature, mythology, community, and place.
Her expressive, painterly style blends hints of realism with bold colour palettes and positive themes, making her work both accessible and emotionally resonant. Having travelled extensively with her art across Europe, the USA, Colombia and Mexico — and with her mural Reverie recently awarded #2 Best Mural in the World 2024 by Street Art Cities — Peachzz brings both experience and openness to this project.
In Tanzania, Peachzz will be supporting and delivering LNADJ’s Street to Street, working with young people to create large-scale paintings together and showing that even the biggest creative ideas can be accessible, collaborative, and joyful.
As we prepare for Tanzania, we caught up with Peachzz to talk about painting, community, and why creativity has always belonged to everyone.
What inspired you to join Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation for this experience?
“I was really excited by the whole concept of Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation, it has very creative roots and such a positive energy about it. Its definitely my cup of tea and I love travelling to experience different cultures especially when it involves painting!”
Whether it’s music, art, connection, teaching, or energy – what do you hope to share with the young people we’ll be working with?
“I really hope to share the experience of expressing yourself with painting, my style is quite rough and painterly and I believe anyone can paint and be creative and I hope to share that with the people I meet.”
What do you hope to take away from this experience — personally or professionally?
“Travelling with my work is something that is really important to me especially creatively and I love bringing what I learn from new places I visit into my artwork. It’s always such a surprise what you learn and feel. I can’t wait to go on that journey.”
Our mission is all about building hope through music and unlocking the joy that creativity brings. How do you see yourself helping to bring that to life during our time in Tanzania?
“I want to create large scale paintings with people, and show those that take part in making a mural what’s possible. Usually looking at something that is large seems impossible and I was there at some point but its not impossible it can be accessible, we have been making murals since the stone age and these guys were onto something! It’s very fun and expressive and can shine a light on areas that need a splash of colour.”
Why is giving back and being part of an organisation like LNADJ important to you?
“Giving back is something I wish I did more of so when chances like this come up I am really excited. Especially when it involves being creative and sharing creativity.”
What do you love about LNADJ and the work we do?
“The projects you create have creativity at its core while also creating really practical.”
Can you share one record that changed or saved your life?
“It’s hard to place one song so I will go for album – Little Simz – Sometimes I Might Be Introvert This album really captured and powered me through a really tough year and gave me strength while painting when I wasn’t feeling creative. It’s amazing and if you haven’t it’s well worth a full listen through.”
For Peachzz, painting has always been about more than walls – it’s about expression, connection, and making creativity accessible to everyone. Whether working in forgotten industrial spaces or collaborating on murals with communities, her practice is rooted in shared experience and collective storytelling.
As she joins Team LNADJ in Tanzania this February, Peachzz brings not only her artistic skill and international experience, but a genuine belief that creativity can empower, uplift, and transform – one wall, one story, and one shared moment at a time.
Peachzz’s murals are heavy on the details and big on the love, we are incredibly excited to see what she creates in Tanzania and how this inspires the young people she will be sharing her skills with.
Please head to Peachzz’s JustGiving page here to support him and help fund this vital outreach project.
Thank you, and as always, Big Love,
Team LNADJ x
