"analogue synths and guitars build around machine-manipulated noise, trap beats and computer music, all colliding with an uncanny tangibility" - NME
HAVIAH MIGHTY (Canada) - debut UK show!!!
Haviah Mighty didn’t need to change her birth name when she decided to dedicate her career to music. Mighty could not better describe Haviah’s craft of provocative challenges and uncompromising truths.
Toronto-based, Haviah has spent a lifetime developing her skills as a songwriter, vocalist, producer, and performer, culminating in a style of profound introspection and incisive socio-political critique. Her dynamic combinations of rap, song, and instrumental transition seamlessly from hip-hop to soul to afrobeats with a meticulous flow and cadence that transcends any traditional expectation of genre.
2019 saw Haviah earn break-out success with her album, 13th Floor, making her the first hip-hop artist and the first Black woman to win the Polaris Music Prize, celebrating the “Best Canadian Album of the Year” - but Mighty didn’t stop there. With her JUNO Award-nominated mixtape, Stock Exchange (Nov. 2021), recognition spread internationally, garnering praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, GRM Daily, FADER, Hot New Hip Hop, and many more.
From performance invitations by massive European tastemaker, COLORSxSTUDIOS, to BBC 1’s Jack Saunders proclaiming “I just cannot find anything as good as Haviah Mighty”, to crushing the 5 Fingers of Death on legendary show, Sway in the Morning - Haviah Mighty is unstoppable.
Mighty pushes forward continuing to carve out spaces that boldly defy gendered expectations for women in hip-hop.
TaliaBle is a rising North London based, dysfunctional Rapper and visual Artist who is prized as thee go to underground circus. You'll experience a world full of surplus WONDER, surrealism and raw stories as well as breaking a sweat in a mosh. TaliaBle entered the music scene September 2019 with a tongue twisted in poignant lyricism, alternative beats crafted her wizard producer in crime: Karl Brinaj, topped off by a gritty, theatrical performance where costumed characters would emerge on stage, illustrating lines in the songs. Gaining the attention from i.D magazine, Charles Jeffrey and Fred Perry Subculture paired with a headlining gig at Late at Tate Britain; TaliaBle has been hailed as ‘exciting, experimental and punk as hell.’ From 100 Club to Roundhouse, Keephush, Map Cafe, VFD, Corsica and Pickle Factory - TaliaBle is carving a yellow brick road through the underground scene proving her intention of ‘utilising music as a soundscape catalyst for imaginary world building'. Her music... is a place.
