Makeda

Makeda is a multidisciplinary artist living in Eora (so called Sydney, Australia). Her work is focused primarily in the sonic space - creating her own lucid texture driven music, composing for dance and film, djing and most recently, songwriting.

Her sound is ever-evolving and refuses to be pinned down - taking ideological and aesthetic cues from a broad spectrum of electronic, post-punk, pop and experimental music influences. She has earned performance slots alongside HTRK, Yves Tumor, Klein, Peggy Gou, Aisha Devi, 33EMYBW, Ross from Friends; also accruing an enviable CV of local and international festival slots.

Makeda has presented commissions at Dark Mofo, Red Bull Music, Soft Centre, Rising, Vivid; and institutions including Art Gallery of NSW, ACMI and MONA. Her music for Amber McCartney’s dance work ‘Baby Girl’ was praised by MONA FOMA's Artistic Director Brian Richie as a highlight of the 2023 festival. Makeda composed another of Amber’s work’s titled ‘Tiny Infinite Death’, which received a 2023 John Truscott award.

Makeda has two EPs ‘Lifetrap’ (2019) and ‘Venus Leak’ (2021) and as of 2024, is working on her debut album.
