Nneka

In the organizer's words:

Nneka Egbuna is an artist, activist and songwriter who unites all facets of her identity in her music. Her work combines courage, conviction and emotional depth and has led to collaborations with artists such as Nas, Damian Marley, Chase & Status and Rita Ora.

Growing up in Nigeria under strict family structures, she only found her way to music late in life via detours - first in church contexts and later after fleeing to Germany. In Hamburg, she developed her voice as an expression of self-empowerment and social reflection. Her early albums combined soul, hip-hop, reggae and electronic music with clear political statements on migration, inequality and responsibility.

Her international breakthrough came with the song "Heartbeat", whose remix by Chase & Status was later sampled by Rita Ora and led to joint projects with Nas and Damian Marley. After a deliberate creative break, Nneka returned with the album Love Supreme - written during the isolation of the pandemic. The work marks a turning point towards self-reflection, healing and inner freedom. Love Supreme stands for a new beginning and for the power of self-love as a political and personal stance.
