SHYBOI is a Jamaican born, New York based multidisciplinary artist, DJ and producer that seeks to find harmony through sonic disruption. As a creative positioned between Caribbean and American culture, she uses sound to interrogate ideas of identity, notions of power, perceived histories and the entanglements that happen within these topics. Since 2013 they’ve been a mainstay in NYC’s ever evolving underground landscape and have contributed to both the global art and dance music scenes, with mixes for Crack Magazine, Fader, MixMag, NTS, Resident Advisor, Rinse FM, Truants and Thump. All this plays out in SHYBOI’s sets heard around the world, from a residency at NYC’s Nowadays spanning the past 3 years, to forward thinking festivals including Atonal, Dweller, Dripping, Hyperreality, Mona Foma, Sonic Acts, Sustain-Release, Unsound and Nyege Nyege. Their innate ability to juxtapose and recontextualize genres and their sonic histories has allowed them to perform throughout Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. SHYBOI has four Boiler Room sets under her ever widening belt, as well as two performances at MoMA PS1’s Warm Up and sold out shows at the Guggenheim and The Shed. Original productions of hers have appeared on compilations via labels including Allergy Season, E-Missions and Nervous Records. Her debut EP “Rave Down Babylon” was hailed for its ability to “evoke the halcyon moments of Brooklyn’s Labor Day parade, pairing it with the charged-up euphoria of Brooklyn techno.”
