MYSIE / CHOVO

MYSIE Raised in South London with Ugandan roots, Mysie is a multidisciplinary artist, producer, songwriter whose genre-bending sound blurs the lines between electronic, dance music and alt pop music. From an early age, she was immersed in a mosaic of influences: electronic, dance, pop, rap, hip hop, indie electronica, and alternative music.

In 2024, she released her project ‘CONTROLLA’, an exploration of identity and resilience that garnered over 6.8 million streams and cemented her place as an independent artist.
