Manukai

he/they
A Black-Asian person in their early twenties with dark brown dreadlocks, a septum piercing and a black chocker with spikes. They are wearing a black veil, and are looking up at the camera.

A Mancunian raised in the South West, Manukai spent their formative years bi-laterally deaf. Growing up Blasian in a mining town, he faced stereotypes and unwanted attention and was variably received, his only constant; the seed to one day create and perform music.

Manukai intertwines multiple alternative styles including alt-pop and dark pop, truly never bound by confirmative constraints. Adorned with buds of llived experience, LGBTQ+, BIPOC – as well as other minority groups, Manukai’s creativity harvests influence from artists such as BLKALTERA, Ashnikko, Conan Gray, Jazmin Bean, Willow Smith, and Paloma Faith.
