Biography

Nyokabi Kariũki (she/her) is a Kenyan composer, sound artist and performer. Her sonic imagination is ever-evolving, spanning across various genres from experimental-electronic & classical contemporary music, to explorations in sound art, film, pop, (East) African musical traditions, and more. She performs with the piano, voice, electronics, and on several instruments from the African continent, particularly on kalimbas. Nyokabi’s work, going from her acclaimed EP 'peace places: kenyan memories' (Scrawl World) to her debut album FEELING BODY (cmntx records), have been described as “deft” (The Quietus) and “transcendent” (The Guardian), with Bandcamp highlighting seeing her as “becoming a crucial voice in contemporary composition and experimental music.” She seeks to create meaningful and challenging art, illuminated by a commitment to the preservation and reflection on African thought, language and stories.
