Kitty Amor stands as the UK’s leading figure in African-influenced electronic music, using her talents as a DJ, producer, and label owner to push afro sounds into global consciousness. From landmark performances at Glastonbury, Tomorrowland, and Ultra Music Festival to running her label Mahaba Music, she consistently elevates underrepresented voices and connects audiences to the pulse of the Motherland. Her production work, including acclaimed remixes for Dennis Ferrer and London Grammar, showcases her refined musicality and storytelling ability, while her latest single “The Answer” (with AWEN) reflects her commitment to empowerment, gender equality, and cultural solidarity.
Rooted in her deep musical upbringing - Kitty channels ancestral rhythm, spiritual elements, and tribal energy into her hypnotic sets. Her early London-based parties, Sessions and Motherland, helped establish her voice in the scene, eventually earning her a Mixmag cover in 2020. Since then, she has achieved numerous milestones: a Nike brand partnership, a documentary premiere at Iris Prize Festival, residencies on BBC Radio One & Rinse FM, plus sets at major venues like Hi Ibiza, KOKO, and The Warehouse Project. South Africa holds a sacred place in her artistic journey, influencing her sound, collaborators, and community-building efforts.
Kitty’s influence reaches far beyond the DJ booth. As a Black queer woman, she’s become a powerful symbol of representation, using her platform to amplify artists from marginalized backgrounds. Her label Mahaba, launched with Defected, is a testament to this mission, highlighting voices across Africa and the diaspora. From her debut “Khoisan” to major-label releases like “I Saw An Angel,” she infuses each track with purpose and heritage. As she tours globally, Kitty Amor is not just performing—she’s cultivating a movement centered on inclusivity, love, and the transformative energy of African electronic music.
