Available in:
Eska Mtungwazi is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Born in Zimbabwe, Mtungwazi moved to South London as a young child, and steadily built a reputation in the UK for her featured work with an eclectic range of established British artists and bands.
Following vocal credits on many independent releases throughout the 2000s, in 2013 she released her debut solo project titled Gatekeeper EP on her own Earthling Recordings label, which featured five original tracks and was co-produced by acclaimed producers Matthew Herbert and David Okumu. The EP attracted worldwide critical acclaim, including tastemaker Gilles Peterson, who called her "one of the most important singers in the UK right now", and Jamie Cullum, who declared the EP's title song to be "an unbelievable track that will be hard to beat in 2013". The title track from the EP was also selected by Peterson for his Brownswood Bubblers 10 compilation, which was released on Brownswood Recordings.
Mtungwazi released her eponymous debut album ESKA on 26 April 2015. It was nominated for the 2015 Mercury Music Prize.
