BINA. - Art School Live Festival 2022
BINA.
WITH VISUALS BY SARAH JAMES
‘South London songstress BINA. first came onto the scene in 2019 with her debut EP Humble Abode. Fusing elements of alternative R&B, Neo-Soul and Jazz, BINA. swiftly became one to watch. Inspired by the likes of Erykah Badu, Solange and Hiatus Kaiyote, BINA. is representing a generation of vocalists that are choosing not to be constrained by production. Whether on a mellow Hip-Hop or an experimental Jazz beat, BINA.’s voice will always blend perfectly. Following from the warm reception BINA. received off of her first EP, she continued to craft out her sound and collaborate with producers and musicians from a variety of genres. This has led to support from the likes of Jamz Supernova, SOULECTION, Lyrical Lemonade, and BBC Introducing.
BINA. also makes her presence felt on the U.K. live music scene with mesmerising performances. Kicking off 2022 strong, she supported Emeli Sande at her London tour date, as well as Ego Ella May, Rudimental and Diplo-collaborator, Kareen Lomax, to name a few.’
