Tamás Deák (born 31 May 1976[2]), better known by his stage name Speak, is a rap artist, model and actor based in Hungary. The music video for his 2003 anti-war song, "Stop the War", became popularized through video sharing websites and was satirized by the US comedy TV show Saturday Night Live. Speak lives in London, England.
Speak is known primarily for his 2003 rap single "Stop the War".[3] A video for this single appeared on YouTube, and featured other semi-famous musicians.[4] Various commentators called the song unintentionally humorous.[5]
The song and music video were parodied on Saturday Night Live in a sketch starring Beck Bennett titled "World Peace Rap", broadcast 7 May 2017.[6]
On 20 June 2012, Speak announced on his website that he would be supporting Australian rap duet Hilltop Hoods and DJ Debris on their upcoming UK tour.
