Born in London to Congolese parents, Marla Kether is a bassist, producer and DJ hailed as “one of the most exciting talents to emerge this year" (Bandcamp Daily).
As a session bassist for the likes of Yazmin Lacey, Oscar Jerome and Obongjayar, Marla has exceeded 35 million streams and been championed by Crack Magazine, Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Jamz Supernova, and 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, Afro-Brazilian groove, driving basslines and guitar riffs inspired by her West African heritage.
Having toured the world as Loyle Carner’s bassist, she’ll soon be joining Little Simz on her upcoming world tour, following a stellar performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage.
As a certified one to watch, we're taking the fast-rising bassist to The Shacklewell Arms.
