Radio Hito + Special Guests

About

We are teaming up with esteemed local venue The Rose Hill to bring you this very special gig!

"Superb. Sitting on the altar steps with a synth, her fabulously expressive vocals colour sparse, pensive compositions.” THE WIRE

Radio Hito is the stage name of Nguyễn Zen Mỹ, an Italo-Vietnamese artist based in Brussels. We'd not come across her before, but listening through her live performances sent by her agent, we just had to book her - there is an elegance and poise to her beautiful compositions. Classically trained, she sings stunning minimalist songs over addictively hypnotic synth patterns (no loops!). Really powerful and unique!

Trained as a classical pianist and with an initial background in art printing, she did her master's at Central Saint Martins, specialising in typography (visualising language), type design and editorial practices. She composes and questions language and its limits, notably through writing, publishing, singing and performing.

As Radio Hito, she has gained recognition in recent years for her minimalist yet powerful performances at festivals and venues across Europe. Her last two albums are on Midi Fish and Kraak Records in Belgium. With her next album to be released by Maple Death Records & Meakusma, based on the book l’Usage et les attributs du cœur by French poet Claude Royet-Journoud, she continues to question the enigma and limits of language - both poetic and musical.
