ARTIST COMMUNITY

Named after the Japanese word for wolf, Ōkami is the side project of artist Kamī; a space where she channels her fundamental belief that sound is a sacred vessel through which communities of colour can connect in solidarity and find true liberation.

Having begun her journey as a DJ through Voices Radio, her mixes have been featured on the likes of NTS and Radio 1001. She has found her footing playing at London’s Pxssy Palace, Body Movements and with the fast-rising Half East Records collective.

While Ōkami has a deep affinity for the atmospheric and sub-heavy frequencies of 140, dnb, dubstep, grime and drill, you can often find her playfully switching gear into rich global club sounds such as dancehall, bhangra, gqom, Asian dance sub-genres, baile and ballroom with plenty of attitude.

Born in South Africa in 1996 to a Zimbabwean mother and Malawi born British father, London based artist Tanya Nonthando Wilson combines the two halves of her identity by juxtaposing traditional methods and contemporary themes into experimental and personal expressions of her lived experiences. As a graduate of Fine Art: Drawing and having recently been shortlisted for the Cordis 2021 Tapestry Prize while also having her work shown in numerous galleries and events in London, Tanya wishes to express how she views the world through multi- disciplinary mediums.

When I was eleven, I visited the world-famous Magic Circle. I was instantly hooked! Since that day, I have wanted to bring the same happiness I felt to others and have spent almost two decades working as a professional close-up magician. Over the last five years I have expanded my skillset to include mentalism which has added a new dynamic to my performance.

I have entertained international royalty and celebrities, regularly performing at a number of London's top bars and restaurants, as well as countless events including weddings, charity fundraisers, corporate away days, and premier league football matches. My client-base and experience has led me to start Maverick Magicians, a bespoke entertainment agency focused on bringing clients a variety of magicians and mind-readers who will provide unique & interactive entertainment.

I am a magician and mind-reader rolled into one. Send me an enquiry to add sense of WONDER to your event today. I hope to amuse, astound and entertain you soon.
