Uche Yara’s music is hard to define. It never stays still or consistent, embracing the avant-garde, and refusing to conform to genre. The Austrian-raised singer-songwriter with Nigerian roots is set to release her debut album in September. Titled ‘Bodyscanner’, it’s a club record that draws from the left-field and encourages listeners to move.
The music is raw, emotional and electrifying, as Yara explores internal and external perception. When it comes to her live shows, it’s all about movement. A one-woman force, she blurs the lines between live performance and the club experience.
One thing’s for certain, Uche Yara knows how to get people moving, and you can heed her instructions at Sŵn Festival this year.
