Wooow, this was a whole vibe!
Born in London to Congolese parents, Marla Kether is a bassist, producer and DJ. She and her amazing band - acclaimed jazz re:freshed vocalist Sofia Grant, guitarist Sonia Konaté (Billy Ocean), and percussionist Richie Sweet (Jorja Smith, Ezra Collective) - play the title track from her debut EP, ‘All That We Have’. orcd.co/atwh
Marla released the highly-anticipated project in November, preceded by four singles championed by the likes of Crack Magazine, Mary Anne Hobbs, Jamz Supernova, Shanti Celeste, Gilles Peterson and many more. It’s safe to say her musical career is as diverse as her influences: her music features a unique blend of live Latin percussion, Theo Parrish-style groove, and driving basslines and guitar riffs inspired by her West African heritage. The EP was heralded by Bandcamp Daily as some of ‘The Best Electronic Music of November 2023’, and the closing track ‘BTR2’ is one of DJ Mag’s Top Tracks of 2023.
Marla currently exceeds 35 million Spotify streams as a session bassist for the likes of Yazmin Lacey, Oscar Jerome and Obongjayar, and is touring the world as Loyle Carner’s bassist - and even supporting his US tour as a DJ.
