UD are proud to announce the next artist taking part in our Emerging Artist Residency — a dedicated programme designed to champion the next wave of musical talent via complimentary studio access. This March we welcome niembe to Talent House…

From recording themselves into their 3DS voice notes app to studying GCSE Music and music performance at A-Level, niemba is now a Music Technology graduate with tracks ready for release. Similar to Steve Lacy, niemba first started out on GarageBand on iPhone in 2017, playing around with its built in compressor and the master effects. They still rely on the app on their iPhone to map out projects, before transporting them (airdropping) to Logic Pro on their MacBook for further mixing and mastering. Lover of 808s, analog synths and synth bass, niemba is a sonic powerhouse with honeyed vocals, now ready to let the world in.
