Nairobi-born, Adelaide-based singer, rapper and producer, Elsy Wameyo today announces she will tour the country, performing live with her 7-piece band in celebration of her recently released debut EP, Nilotic out now via Music in Exile.

The national headline tour will mark the first time for many fans to hear Elsy's songs in their entirety on stage. On Friday, August 5, Elsy performs in her hometown Adelaide's The Lab. The following evening on Saturday, August 6, Northside Records will host a free live show from their store in Melbourne. Next, Elsy heads to the Top End, performing at Darwin Festival on Friday, August 19, before finally performing two sets from Sydney's Phoenix Central Park on Thursday September 15. Tickets will be made available via ballot released on Wednesday June 29.

Self-producing her own work and exploring new production techniques has led Elsy Wameyo to find her own style and control in sonic direction. This approach compliments a fusion of gospel and traditional sacred sounds that shape Elsy's musical vision, alongside a force of contemporary hip-hop and R&B influences. Her comfort in her own voice is evidenced through poetic verses, which come to full form in an energetic stage show where Elsy conducts a full live band and draws the crowd deeper into the Nilotic story.

Previously, Elsy has shared stages with artists such as Grammy award-winner Printz Board, Maségo, Sampa the Great, Genesis Owusu, Ruel and Adrian Eagle. She adds to this with previous festival appearances at Groovin' The Moo, St Jerome's Laneway Festival, and her hometown Adelaide's WOMAD and SANAA festivals. Most recently, Elsy took her 7-piece band to Strawberry Fields, followed by a special VIVID LIVE show alongside Mo'Ju and two special debut appearances at Dark Mofo. Elsy will be rounding out the year with performances at Falls Festival and Lost Paradise.

From years spent honing her self-taught creative talents across production, songwriting and singing, to relentless education and research, Elsy Wameyo now shares the fruits of her work, the glorious debut EP, Nilotic as an unmissable live rendition this August and September.
