Bio
Nigerian-born sound artist, curator and composer based in Glasgow.
My work explores heritage, identity, experimentation and contemporary sound, shaped by jazz, sound art and a fascination with how technology, spirituality and the natural world meet. I think of myself as a sonic architect, designing three-dimensional spaces you can live inside. I also DJ.
For ten years I've developed and delivered interdisciplinary projects across contemporary art, sound, immersive technology and performance. I work calmly and directly with artists, technical teams and venues, and take an idea from first concept through production to public presentation.
