Mosquito (LP)

Amsterdam based, Brazilian-born producer and vocalist LYZZA announces forthcoming mixtape MOSQUITO on Big Dada, the Ninja Tune sub label which relaunched last year as a label run by Black, POC & Minority Ethnic people for Black, POC & Minority Ethnic artists.

The 10 track alt-pop mixtape is an expression of LYZZA's experiences as a Black woman within the music industry. Having felt misunderstood and unaccepted in the past, recalling the feeling of "taking up too much space and being too loud" in situations, LYZZA explores the notion of preconceptions, social dynamics and how so many people are misunderstood in their day to day life. "The way you look can bring so many preconceptions that don't apply but you can end up playing into it without meaning to if someone talks to you in a certain way" she comments.
