SHYBOI

SHYBOI is a Jamaican-born, New York-based multidisciplinary artist. SHYBOI is the moniker she uses to cause sonic disruption. As a creative positioned between Caribbean and American cultures, she uses sound to interrogate ideas of identity, notions of power, perceived histories, and the entanglements that happen within these topics. She is also member of the queer artist collective #KUNQ whose ethos is centered around the production of multidimensional work through sound, visual, and performance art while expanding the discourse surrounding the subcultures and genres that have become diluted or obscured in the name of hybridity. SHYBOI has three Boiler Room sets under her ever-widening belt as well as two performances at MoMA PS1 and a sold-out show at the Guggenheim. Recent sounds have been featured in “Fact” magazine, “Thump,” Rinse FM, “Mixmag,” “Resident Advisor,” and “The Fader.”
