London-based multi-instrumentalist David Mrakpor creates his own all-engrossing world on stage - with a George Benson-esque atmosphere and plenty of riff-groove alchemy. Each incarnation of Mrakpor, from keys to bass to drums showcases his instrumental prowess in a way both impressive and ever-so-cool.
Mrakpor began playing instruments at just three years old before attending Tomorrow's Warriors and WAC Arts in London where he met Blue Lab Beats co-collaborator NK-OK. The grammy-winning duo, signed to Blue Note, create powerful Jazztronica which moves through a span of sounds from avant-jazz to afro-funk and hip-hop.
In recent years, he's released a series of singles under the Jazz Re:freshed label, with big name collaborators such as Nubya Garcia & Kojey Radical.
