ABOUT
CASH
Cash Hollistah is a national hip-hop recording artist, musician, poet, speaker and philanthropist based in Salina, Kansas.
A passionate advocate for the arts, Hollistah cites a creative writing class he took as a sophomore in high school as the main catalyst for pursuing a career in music. That pursuit led him to create numerous events in his hometown of Salina; from battle rap competitions & performance showcases to art exhibits, as well as a monthly open-mic poetry series, ONEMiC, whose home was the Ad Astra stage. These events, along with his music, and his work with students in schools and churches across the state, have gained him a reputation as a community leader, as well as the admiration of many who benefit from his efforts. Currently, Hollistah sits on the Board of Directors of the Kansas Music Hall of Fame.
