As a self-proclaimed bedroom artist, Chicago-based producer and melodist, megiapa, has evolved what first started as sound bites stitched together in Audacity into a wide range of deeply-rooted rhythms, and crisp, futuristic soundscapes. Emerging from Chicago’s underground beat scene with her debut EP, (parenthesis) she displayed a new direction in production from her humble sampling days. In 2017, megiapa revisited those roots in collaboration with Chicago’s notable multi-instrumentalist, Ben LaMar Gay, to release the Growth EP. She continues to harness inspiration from eclectic corners to yield an ever-evolving, but distinguishable sound all her own ranging from lo-fi hip hop and jazz to future r&b and electro-funk; always with an aim toward the Afro future.
