Meet Nanka Nanka is a multidisciplinary, multi-genre MC and artist, a voice that moves fluidly between the underground electronic dance and the experimental hip hop scene . From late-night Bristol house parties in 2021 to festival stages and club nights across the UK, Nanka has carved a name for himself as a commanding yet conscious performer. Before ever touching the mic, Nanka was behind the decks. Beginning DJing in 2020, he developed a deep understanding of structure, energy and timing, a foundation that now underpins his approach as an MC. Cutting his teeth in Bristol’s jungle and drum & bass scene, Nanka quickly gained recognition for his ability to read the room, knowing when to hold silence and when to lift the crowd. His lyricism balances energy and depth, bridging the space between DJ and audience with tension, flow and presence. Beyond the dance floor setting, Nanka is always expanding his avenues of expression and creativity, a producer, writer and performer whose debut album Beryl (2025) showcases his evolution, weaving together introspection, rhythm and genre-bending sound. Whether in a sweaty basement, on a festival stage, or through his ever-evolving and genre-fluid catalogue, Nanka stands as a creator and curator, connecting people through raw emotion and the desire to be true to one’s self and each other.
