Samaël Deul

Hello! My name is Samaël, I am 20 years old and live in Amsterdam.

After performing a solo with Boys Won’t Be Boys during my final year of high school and gap year, I began studying Archaeology at Leiden University. My work, both as an artist and academic, is driven by a shared goal: to spread awareness and fight against social injustice—past and present.

Spoken word is my strongest medium. Through language, rhythm, and performance, I aim to challenge perspectives and make people uncomfortable in the right ways. At DOX Club I am able to develop into a more well-rounded artist and performer, refine my voice and broaden my artistic reach.

I find inspiration in those who use their art as a form of resistance—artists like Tupac, Eldridge Cleaver, Queen Omega, Delilah Bon, and Mon Rovia. They stand for truth, not popularity, and that’s the kind of impact I strive for.

I would like to encourage to world to stop side-eyeing your Black neighbour or the homeless person down the street. Start side-eyeing the people telling you that these people are the problem.
