Her versatile style covers ranges from jazz-infused afrobeat, deep house, disco vibes to dilla-inspired hip hop beats, cathartic gqom and wavy afro-fusion sounds. She has played memorable sets in uncommon corners of the world: PUNGWE in Joburg, Backyard in Lagos, YAASAA Launch in Accra, BAK AH YARD in Point Fortin (Trinidad) and at several exclusive house parties in Berlin, Lagos and London.
