As a composer and artist, Tony Njoku is ceaselessly creative, effortlessly marrying experimentalism with traditional composition in exhilarating new ways across each release.  

His upcoming EP Last Bloom promises to be the next milestone on the artist's journey. Blurring lines between classical, ambient and electronic, Last Bloom is a release which will challenge the perception of what classical music can be, who it’s for and the spaces in which it can be created. Proud to represent black composers in the classical world, where the accepted canon is overwhelmingly white, Njoku is self taught and not a product of a conservatoire, rather cutting his musical teeth making club-adjacent beats and dance orientated music. Alongside the slick production and subtle electronic processing, Last Bloom captures the gentle sounds of felted piano hammers and roomy reflections, bringing the compositions to life in new dimensions.
