NNAMDÏ

Chicago’s NNAMDÏ thrives in the porous boundaries of multi-genre pop experimentalism. Over the past decade, NNAMDÏ has received critical acclaim for projects covering ground in post-punk, pop, electronic, orchestral, and hip-hop. He has been widely lauded for his singular sound and virtuosic skill set as a multi-instrumentalist producer and songwriter by major music outlets including VICE, the New York Times, New Yorker, NPR, Pitchfork, FADER, and several dozen others. His chameleonic sound has led him to tour and perform with acts including Wilco, Sleater-Kinney, Black Midi, Jeff Rosenstock, Geordie Greep, Pile, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and CupcakKe, and to appear at numerous national and international festivals including Pitchfork (Chicago, London, Paris), AfroPunk, Solid Sound, Treefort, Haldern Pop Festival (DE), Appletree Garden Festival (DE), and OFF Festival (Poland). NNAMDÏ‘s most recent LP, Please Have A Seat (Secretly Canadian / Sooper Records, 2022), drives the point home as both his most accessible and genre-defying work to date. A live NNAMDÏ performance is a singularly unique and high-octane mixture of rock, pop, hip-hop, electronic, and post-punk influences. NNAMDÏ was named a 2020 Chicagoan of the Year by the Chicago Tribune for his work as a label co-owner of Chicago’s Sooper Records, his prolific output, and his fundraising for racial and social justice causes.
