About Xpect

Born in the US to Kenyan college students, Xpect, a New York
based electronic musician began as a radio/club Dj and promoter in Minneapolis before continuing same in New York City
upon moving in 2010.

Having grown up in Kenya and taking a keen interest in traditional music, Xpect began
experimenting with infusing Afro music elements into urban pop songs for remixes, before pushing boundaries and
composing a unique sound he coined afroelectronica/nomadic soul, which infuses musical elements from Africa and The
West, topped off with soulful melodies.

His work caught the attention of multi grammy award winning musician Alicia Keys who enlisted him for work on
an official remix project in 2016. Since then, he released a compilation album before putting his music on hold
to lend his time to social justice initiatives, leading Streetriders NYC, one of the largest Black Lives Matters
protest movements in the wake of George Floyd's killing in 2020. He also founded a community initiative called Safewalks
to offer a presence to New Yorkers who felt unsafe due to attacks on public transit, and due to hate crimes.

His newly released EP Album " Nomadic Soul Therapy" consists afroelectronica
music he composed for a self-therapeuric escape amid the turmoil around the protests and pandemic. He plans to tour,
introducing the world to the sound, which he hopes will be a vessel to foster uplifting, unity, awakening, and
purpose.
