Born in New Jersey & raised by her mother between Lagos and London, Halima Edozie-Akinlade draws from a tri-continental well. As an only child, she learned to blend introspective periods spent alone with the collaborative community programs she attended for theatre & music. As early as primary school, she remembers developing processes for bringing musicians together, continually from a place of creation. From early explorations of folk and piano to later studies of jazz & R&B, Halima's career has evolved, making pit stops in Pop-punk, neo-soul, and electronic along the way. Now, her sound pulls unapologetically from a broad musical spectrum, nodding sonically to those defining experiences pushing forward toward a more pointed exploration of self.
By 21, Halima launched her label, One Percent Genius, & released self-produced singles garnering over 5 million cumulative streams. Since then, her work has been featured in Spotify's Pollen and New Music Friday, Apple Music's Feels, Pitchfork's What's Good playlists, Fader, Billboard, & more.
Halima is also a co-founder and active member of a Brooklyn women's collective that meets weekly to navigate life in the music industry, practice community therapy, and celebrate chosen family, which she describes as a process of "adding structures to unstructured life". Altogether, Halima's work embodies the intersection of self-discovery, community, and the complexity of life's connections, across mediums.
