This article may distress some readers, as it mentions details of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Genesis Owusu organised a soundcheck party in Denver ahead of his sold-out show for the Muslims Around The World (MAWT) Project, which is working to offer civilian aid in Gaza.
The ticket for the soundcheck party on 3 November included an exclusive viewing of Owusu’s soundcheck performance, hanging out for a 45-minute event, and a meet and greet with Genesis Owusu.
“Denver! The show sold out really fast; I know a lot of you couldn't get tickets in time. Come down to the venue at 5 pm and come watch my soundcheck! I'll play a few tracks, sell and sign some merch, meet and greet vibes,” Owusu wrote on Instagram.
He added, “It's $20 minimum entry, but donate as much as you're willing as all proceeds from tickets and merch will go to MATW International (@matw_project) for civilian aid in Gaza. I can only fit like 30 people though so get in quick! Thank you and see you tomorrow”.
In a second photo posted to Instagram, Owusu shared a recent post by the MATW Project, a nonprofit organisation providing urgent aid for those affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

“The hospital has expressed its sincere gratitude to our MATW donors for the much-needed relief while they face extensive energy cuts and fuel restrictions,” a spokesperson for MATW wrote. Thanks to the support of Owusu and many others, “This has enabled them to provide urgent, life-saving treatment to our Palestinian sisters, brothers and children.”
The Israel-Hamas war continues, with Al Jazeera reporting this morning that Israel confirmed striking an ambulance in Gaza in front of the al-Shifa Hospital, killing 15 people and injuring 16 others. Israeli officials alleged that Hamas was using the ambulance, a claim that was rejected by the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza.
