Greentea Peng
Neo-soul artist Greentea Peng has announced her headline Australia and New Zealand, bringing her rich catalogue of deeply personal, genre-defying music to audiences this November.
Delicately infusing hypnotic dub with seductive hip-hop swings and jazzy neo-soul excursions, the South London born Greentea Peng is an artist whose work is guided by self-inquiry, shaped by the dualities she inhabits: pain and pleasure, engagement and withdrawal, expression and stillness. Her emotional literacy is transformed into a blend of neo-soul, dub and jazz, all draped in psychedelic textures.
