(Seattle, WA) Seattle Hip Hop artist and community organizer, Khazm “King Khazm” Kogita is traveling to Dubai, UAE as a Cultural Ambassador to the State Department, and Cultural Performer at the 2020 World’s Fair this December. Expo 2020 Dubai is a six-month long global event and marks a pivotal moment in history, as the first Expo to be held in the Middle East.
Khazm is one of approximately 84 Cultural Performers from across the United States (and its territories) invited to represent their region in Dubai. A Seattle native, Khazm is a multifaceted artist, producer, and community organizer who has engaged in art and community service for over 25 years.

“The World’s Fair is a one-of-a-kind exposition that has spotlighted innovation, culture and the best of humanity for nearly two centuries. Bringing Hip Hop to a world stage like that is an absolute honor, and my vision is to see it exemplified in its true essence, with the culture and spirit of global unity to the forefront.”
