MUNYASYA

Munyasya is a Nairobi-based experimental electronic artist, currently making waves across the region and beyond. A self-taught artist who started DJing at 13 and producing at 19, Munyaysa has developed a distinctive raw and emotional style of electronic music at odds with many of the prevalent sounds from Nairobi. With harddrives full of ideas, sketches and full tracks, Munyaysa’s influences draw from local pioneers such as DJ Raph, Ayub Ogada, KMRU and Blinky Bill, to international trailblazers like Black Coffee, AtmosBlaq and Space Afrika. Having added to his already prodigious skills through his active membership of the Ableton User Group, and now as a graduate of the Goethe-Institut sponsored Santuri Electronic Music Academy, Munyasya is currently prepping the release of three experimental electronic projects - Amue, Xanes and NAWT. He had a track premiered by DJ Mag in 2021 as a part of KMRU’s ‘Place’ project, is a resident DJ at Afropopup.ke and his channel on Blast Radio.
