Naná Rizinni

Naná Rizinni is a Brazilian drummer, composer, and producer based in London, whose work fuses improvisation, electronics, and jazz into expansive, atmospheric soundscapes. Known for her explosive yet nuanced drumming, she creates music that thrives in contrasts: structure and freedom, raw energy and spacious texture, acoustic instruments and synth-driven layers.

Her single “The Right Side Of The Escalator,” released in spring 2026, offered a first glimpse into Epiblast, released in April 2026 and representing her boldest statement to date. A record shaped by themes of rupture and regeneration, migration, motherhood and emotional rebirth, it finds the artist exploring new sonic territory with remarkable depth and confidence. Recorded with her London-based trio, the music draws on breakbeat grooves, atmospheric synths and improvisational interplay, resulting in a sound that is at once disorienting, immersive and deeply human.

Originally from São Paulo, Rizinni built her career as a sought-after drummer and producer before relocating to London in 2020. Since then, she has become an active voice in the city’s vibrant, boundary-pushing jazz scene. Over the years, she has toured internationally with artists such as Johnny Hooker, Paulo Miklos, As Mercenárias, and Tiê, and performed at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Rock in Rio, SXSW, and Primavera Sound.

Her discography charts a restless evolution—from the alt-pop energy of Bacon Eggs (2009) and I Said (2011), to the jazz-forward experimentation of Maracujá Azedo (2021). EPIBLAST marks a new personal and artistic chapter: music as a process of becoming - urgent, unpredictable, and unapologetically alive.
