AYEBATONYE

Introducing a new celestial being to the Varniverse, give in and give over to the gravitational pull of Ayebatonye.

Rich in influences but refusing the simplicity of musical categorisation, Ayebatonye packs her bags with global electronic sounds, rich afro rhythms and sets a heaving course for every muscle in your body.

Deeply immersed in the recognition and furtherment of Bla(c)k narratives in electronic music, looking both forwards and backwards, Ayebatonye's orbit carves a bright and inspiring arc across the sky, taking her to places farther afield than the dancefloor. As a community leader Ayebatonye acts as mentor, researcher, board member, advocate, podcaster and public speaker, all with an eye to increasing access to music and arts for the underrepresented.

Ears on and eyes up when the Ayebatonye comet thrills the IV Sky this Easter.
