A presence, a concept, an expression: Mysie [My-Zee] has been a long time in the making but today, having dropped her all new track, ‘Rocking Chair’, she is ready to share herself with the world. At just 23 years old, Mysie’s creative journey has already evolved eloquently and vibrantly: “You learn from your songs, like writing poems”, she explains, “it’s cathartic”. Growing up as a second-generation immigrant in London, Mysie immersed herself in the powerful history of her culture, inspired by the likes of Thundercat, N.E.R.D as well as her very own grandfather, a Ugandan musical icon. Now, blending together her diverse influences and intricate sense-of-self, Mysie has found her sound, and you need to hear it. In the wake of her first single, we meet the one to watch to find out the answers to 10 very important questions…
