Biografie

Idd Aziz brings the rhythmic phrasing of Kenya’s coastal traditions to Afro-house and Afro-fusion. A singer, songwriter and percussionist, he works principally in Giriama alongside Kiswahili, drawing on the musical environment he knew through his father’s work at Bomas of Kenya. His career extends well beyond electronic collaborations: he has performed with bands and ensembles, joined Kenya’s delegation to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in 2014 and worked as a percussionist on Coke Studio Africa. In house music, partnerships with Nitefreak, Francis Mercier and other producers place his voice in an international network without separating it from those roots. Aziz describes collaboration as an open process, welcoming music from lesser-known producers as well as established names and building his vocal parts from the feeling of each track.
