New Music
Producer | DJ | Artist
WAZI (he/they) is a DJ, producer, and songwriter based in New York. Their artistic journey delves deep into the ancestral roots of Black trans and queer resistance, embracing the soul-stirring rhythms of Black dance music from diverse corners of the diaspora. They bring a magnetic presence behind the decks and in the recording studio as they traverse a musical odyssey that involves composition, production and the exploration between genres like House, Hip Hop, Jazz/AfroCuban Jazz, Afrohouse, Baile Funk, Vogue/Ballroom, Techno/Club, Amapiano, Dancehall, R&B, AfroBeats, and beyond. Welcome to their sonic sanctuary, where each beat and melody pulses with the heartbeat of a mesmerizing journey through spirit and sound.
Wazi is co-founder of Tender Bois Club - music and creative production house and the Development Director at Comfrey Films - a Film Training Program and Production House designed to launch Black trans, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGNCI*) storytellers into independent filmmaking and to tell stories woven at the intersection of being Black and TGNCI*.
