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, offers a first glimpse into her upcoming album Epiblast (April 2026), which represents her boldest statement yet. A record about rupture and regeneration, shaped by themes of migration, motherhood, and emotional rebirth. Recorded with her London-based trio, the music draws on breakbeat grooves, synths, and improvisational interplay, resulting in a disorienting, transportive, and deeply human sound. Three singles will precede the album release in early 2026 (January–March), each revealing a different facet of this dreamlike landscape.

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.
