④ ABOUT

Na Bonsai is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer, and multimedia artist based in Detroit, MI. Their music re-imagines traditional genres with a special affinity for Afro-centric mysticism, often compared to the likes of Flora Purim, Khadja Bonet, Hiatus Kaiyote, and other genre-defying artists. From early beginnings as founder and composer of indie-soul band Honey Monsoon, Na Bonsai has quickly risen in the search for new paradigms that rely on lush analog arrangements and prophetic messages that explore reverence and fantasy in the same breath. Their debut project was released in 2023 titled Alkhemy which expands upon themes of freedom, rebirth, and natural elements - a small glimpse into the conceptual cosmology of their work as a whole. With a shameless intention to dismantle oppressive systems through sonic storytelling, they have collaborated as a sound artist in audio engineering, song production, and music supervision. In recent years, Na Bonsai has been developing an audiovisual language guiding an experimental graphic scoring practice that incorporates liberatory improvisation and electronics to create spiritual soundscapes accompanied by digital illustrations. The central force of emotionalism in their work is an honest and refreshing approach to emergent music.
