Chiminyo is a drummer and producer from North London who explores the space between electronic music and jazz. Principally renowned for his solo project in which he combines the raw, immediate live sound of percussion and the futuristic timbres of his electronic productions to create his own, daring soundworld. Via laboriously self-coded software, each cymbal crash and drum hit triggers a synth or sample, allowing Chiminyo complete control and freeing him of all loops, click-tracks and backing tracks. 
 As well as his solo project, Chiminyo leads his synth led ensemble, Uniri, and releases live improvised electronic-jazz performances of his NRG nights. He has also collaborated and recorded with Gary Bartz, Nubya Garcia, Shabaka Hutchings, Theon Cross, and Zara McFarlane. The drummer, who through his craft uses a range of technological equipment, is also sponsored by Roland and Bosphorus, as well as being an Ableton artist. 
 The musician released a debut EP in 2019 entitled ‘I Am Chiminyo’, a visceral introduction to his all-encompassing universe. Critically-acclaimed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, BBC 1Xtra and Jazz FM, it indirectly earnt Chiminyo a Jazz FM Digital Award nomination whilst the track ‘Kandy Lanx’ was nominated for a 2020 Worldwide FM Award. 
 In the Autumn of 2020, Chiminyo released his debut album I Am Panda, a departure from jazz into the realms of future pop and psychedelia.
