Nkisi is a visionary electronic music producer, DJ, and artist born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and raised in Belgium, whose work is characterized by its boundary-pushing sound and deep engagement with both African and diasporic sonic traditions. Drawing on her Congolese heritage, Nkisi fuses influences from West African rhythms, Congolese club music, and European avant-garde, resulting in complex, propulsive compositions that challenge conventional forms of dance music. As a founding member of the influential collective NON Worldwide, she is at the forefront of a global movement to reimagine the role of African and diasporic identities in contemporary art and music.
Her releases on labels such as UIQ, PrÃncipe, and her own imprint, INITIATION, have garnered acclaim for their intensity, complexity, and philosophical depth, often exploring themes of ritual, mysticism, and the liberatory power of sound. In addition to her musical output, Nkisi has collaborated on interdisciplinary projects in visual art and performance, underscoring her commitment to innovation and cultural critique across artistic disciplines.
