“Dublin indie hip-hop hero”
Awarded a prestigious Royal Hibernian Academy Award in 2017 for his creative practice, Kojaque came to prominence with the genre-bending concept record « Deli Daydreams » in 2018, a project that also demonstrated his prowess as a music video director, and was nominated for the Choice Music Prize. Following performances at Glastonbury, Pitchfork Festival Paris, Primavera Sound, and SXSW, he released the album « Town’s Dead », also nominated for the Choice Music Prize, in 2021.
Kojaque’s first two records changed the Irish hiphop landscape forever. Now London-based, Kojaque’s « Phantom of the Afters » traces the blurred outlines of childhood trauma, depression, grief and love. This is an album that finds comfort and assurance in the acceptance of the self, through shedding what no longer serves. Informed by the pursuit of simplicity, while meditating on heartbreak, home and health, « Phantom of the Afters » finds Kojaque reflecting on the landmarks of a young life, in all their beauty and complexity.

MONJOLA
Monjola, artiste R&B alternatif né au Nigeria et ayant grandi à Dublin, est l'un des nouveaux talents les plus prometteurs de la scène musicale irlandaise. Ses chansons, qui abordent les thèmes de l'exploration de soi et de la vulnérabilité émotionnelle, sont empreintes de son identité et de son expérience personnelle. Monjola utilise sa musique comme un moyen d'expression et de guérison. Il est également engagé dans la promotion de la musique, de l'art et de la culture. Il souhaite mettre en lumière les créateur·rice·s irlandais·e·s noir·e·s et leur permettre de s'épanouir à l'échelle internationale.
