ARTIST COMMUNITY

As a producer, rapper, and filmmaker, my music is very immersive and story driven. It pulls the listener into an entirely different world with each song, through a colourful use of sound design and hard-hitting yet comedic lyrical storytelling. I take pride in an original sound that I can call my own.

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.
