Witch Prophet is a Toronto-based, Ethiopian/Eritrean singer-songwriter, producer, and creative
visionary whose work blends jazz fusion, neo-soul, hip-hop, and alternative R&B with
multilingual vocals in English, Tigrinya, and Amharic. Drawing on her ancestral lineage and
lived experience, she creates spiritually resonant, groove-centered music that feels both futuristic
and deeply rooted. Her critically acclaimed discography (including The Golden Octave, D.N.A
Activation, and Gateway Experience)has earned praise from Billboard, Pitchfork, Complex,
FADER, CBC Music, Exclaim!, Bandcamp, and more, along with Polaris Prize shortlist and
longlist recognition. Known for her hypnotic vocal style, rich harmonies, and boundary-pushing
sonic worlds, Witch Prophet has performed at major festivals such as Montreal Jazz Festival,
Vancouver Jazz Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, The Great Escape (UK), SXSW (Austin),
MAMA Festival (Paris), and New Skool Rules (Rotterdam). Her forthcoming album, Words Are
Spells / Thoughts Are Magic (March 18, 2026), marks her most expansive work yet – a
dual-sided project exploring the power of language, thought, and intention. Produced by Witch
Prophet and her wife/collaborator SUN SUN, the album merges ancestral resonance with
contemporary soul, offering a transformative musical experience. A magnetic performer and
genre-defying storyteller, Witch Prophet continues to carve a singular path in today’s global
music landscape.
