Akua: Performing Artist in New York

About Akua

Akua is an electronic artist active in New York City’s club circuit, with appearances at Paragon. Their work sits at the edges of electronic rhythm and rap-adjacent phrasing, a crossover reflected in Spotify’s jazz-rap tagging and an emerging profile with a sizable following. In the Phantasma series at Paragon, Akua has shared bills with Regal86, MoMA Ready, and Josh Steers, placing their sets in dialogue with peers working across contemporary dance music forms. Their performances favor structure and pacing over spectacle.
