Edoheart

Edoheart is a poet, producer, dancer, and multimedia artist based in New York. Born in Nigeria in the indigenous rainforest culture of the Edo people as a princess of the Kingdom of Ugu, raised in Detroit’s 90&#39;s spoken-word community and in the global experimental performance-art scenes, Edoheart is described as &#34;Afro-poetry over dubbed-out rhythms,&#34; &#34;sculptural and avant garde,&#34; &#34;Afro Indie&#34; and &#34;afropunk&#34;. She is a self-taught musician and has been producing her own music almost exclusively since 2012. Her last several projects have been entirely self-produced, recorded, and engineered in her home. She is the first indigenous African Butoh artist, and calls her unique performance style &#39;butoh-vocal theatre&#39;. Her newest release, PANDEMONIUM, is a fusion of chopped-up Nigerian rhythms and social protest lyrics after the heritage of notable artists like <a href="spotify:artist:5CG9X521RDFWCuAhlo6QoR" data-name="Fela Kuti">Fela Kuti</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:51qUDJb5AtQX6jIL4VJx6M" data-name="Angelique Kidjo">Angelique Kidjo</a>. PANDEMONIUM is released in the wake of unprecedented family loss and is dedicated to the seven members of Edoheart&#39;s family who passed in 2021.
