Brighton’s very own super-talented MRISI boldly commands the stage in his own inimitable style! Performing a high octane multi-instrumental set, he fuses South African traditional sounds together with a wide range of contemporary music, dance and audience interaction. MRISI’s music tells his personal story of his transnational UK/South African heritage and also delves deep into current social and political global issues.

MRISI has performed around the UK and South Africa working alongside artists such as Omar, Prince Fatty, Kokoroko, Sadat X, Octavian, Yazmyn Hendrix and many other established artists. His appearances include events for the Commonwealth Games, Brighton Dome, Concord 2, The RoundHouse, Ronnie Scott’s to name a few. He has produced tracks in a multitude of genres for several artists and has also played piano for other artist’s projects - both live and in the studio as a session musician
