Tanye Aganaba

Tonye Aganaba is a queer and non-binary multidisciplinary artist, musician, and facilitator residing on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish & Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. They were born in London, England aka: the belly of the beast and the stronghold of imperialism, colonialism and racial capitalism - and, their ancestry can be traced back to the lands colonially known today as Nigeria (Izon/Ijaw speaking peoples) and Zimbabwe (Shona speaking peoples). 

Tonye’s style is fluid - and weaves playful threads of Soulful Neo-Folk, Funk, Hip-Hop and R&B. Their shows and workshops are connected and intimate experiences, and evoke a kind of vulnerability that we all hunger for. They are a steadfast fixture in their local arts community - and a passionate and political being. When they’re not making music or art - they’re actively unlearning, relearning and having conversations.
