Formed in 2011 at Leeds College of Music, Nubiyan Twist have evolved into one of the UK’s most forward-thinking and electrifying ensembles. Known for their infectious fusion of jazz, afrobeat, soul, and hip-hop the 9-piece collective have built a reputation for virtuosic musicianship and high-energy live shows that transcend genre and geography.

Their innovative sound and collaborative spirit have earned them AIM Award and MOBO nominations, as well as support from PRS Foundation’s Momentum Music Fund and the Music Export Growth Scheme (MEGS) - key backers of the UK’s most promising independent artists.

Across their career, they&#39;ve collaborated with an impressive roster of global talent, including Nile Rodgers, Seun Kuti, Tony Allen, Fatoumata Diawara, and Mamani Keita, among others.

Bandleader Tom Excell is a long-time contributor to Africa Express, Damon Albarn’s celebrated cross-cultural project, where he has performed and collaborated with a host of legendary African and Western artists.

With multiple acclaimed albums, extensive international touring, and a loyal following at the heart of the UK’s jazz and groove movement, Nubiyan Twist continue to champion connection, creativity and collective energy - celebrating the power of human music in an increasingly digital world.
