Jersey based artist, Ania Hoo, first name meaning “purpose” in swahili stands out and blends her Caribbean upbringing with retro influences to create dreamy-dance music. Influenced by Grace Jones and Vanity 6, she addresses the nuances of identity, becoming a poignant voice into the messy, unpolished reality of noir-love. It’s the kind of late-night confession you whisper into voice memos. Her sonic palette in production and vocals gained her a spotlight after releasing “VENUS” EP of February 2025, which landed her features on BBC Radio 1xtra and Sleeping on Gems, and gaining the interests with Roc Nation Distribution for label support. Ania Hoo performed across Toronto, London, and NYC, as she shares her dance floor-ready and complexities of self-love to new listeners.
