Genres: Beats, Lofi

An internationally renowned finger drummer with a BA (Hons) in Sound Arts and Design from the University of the Arts London, Gnarly is a proactive artist and a multi-faceted talent. The British-Sri Lankan finger drummer, music producer, live performer, content creator, and educator keeps on gaining the attention not only of fans and notable collaborators, but also music tech brands and music organisations.

Besides creating genre-bending future beats and DJ sets, performing highly skilled and captivating live shows and leading finger-drumming workshops, you can find her appearing on panels and radio shows to discuss online marketing, self-promotion, music production, and finger drumming techniques. Currently, together with spoken word artist Nikita Gill, she is part of a live act, which combines the modern world of music tech and mythological stories told through the lens of South Asian women.

She is also part of the first season of Stereofox’s Beat Queens compilation with her track “Cosmos Alley”, which received a placement on Spotify’s lofi beats.

All of that demonstrates Gnarly’s passion for music and art, together with her professionalism, the combination of which has proven to be a solid ground for success.
