Mykki Blanco is an American rapper, performance artist and LGBTQ+ activist who broke onto the international scene in 2012 with the hit 'Wavvy'. Over the following decade, he built a catalogue that moves fluidly between hip-hop, trap, electronic music and experimental pop, while carving out a singular path within a genre historically marked by exclusion.
His cultural footprint extends well beyond music: he appeared as the lead in Madonna's 'Dark Ballet' video (2019), collaborated with Kanye West, Devendra Banhart, Amnesia Scanner and Charli XCX, and toured alongside Björk, Major Lazer and Death Grips.
The forthcoming album CAFE PARADISO, created with longtime collaborator Drew 'FaltyDL' Lustman, opens a new chapter defined by a more intimate and cosmopolitan vision, with a sound that evokes the spirit of Prince and Connan Mockasin.
Expect a wild, multifaceted live performance when Mykki Blanco takes the stage at ALICE this October.
