PRGRSSMIX 008 - Shyboi by Progress Bar

Born in Jamaica, New York-based multidisciplinary artist SHYBOI (@djshyboi) is a moniker used to cause sonic disruption. As a creative positioned between Caribbean and American culture, she uses sound to interrogate ideas of identity, notions of power, perceived histories and the entanglement that happens within these topics. She is a member of the queer artist collective #KUNQ whose ethos is centred around the production of multidimensional work through sound, visual and performance art while expanding the discourse surrounding the subcultures and genres that have become diluted or obscured in the name of hybridity. SHYBOI has three Boiler Room sets under her ever-widening belt as well as two performances at MoMA PS1 and a sold out show at the Guggenheim. Recent sounds have been featured in Fact Mag and The Fader, as well as on Rinse FM.

This radio show was part of the Progress Bar Radio Tour hosted at Stranded FM, Utrecht: pushing local musical talent, stimulating creators and providing a hub for the many cultural institutes that the city inhibits. Thank you so much for having us!
