KNITTING FACTORY PRESENTS
Genevieve Artadi ft. Louis Cole, Pedro Martins, Isis Giraldo, Miku Nakamura of Co Shu Nie, Balou, Astellium

A Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer with a background in jazz studies, Genevieve Artadi creates sophisticated, eclectic pop that playfully expresses a wide range of emotions. First reaching an audience as the leader of Pollyn, an indie electronic trio influenced by trip-hop, disco, and new wave, Artadi formed KNOWER with Louis Cole in 2009, and the duo achieved viral success with their offbeat covers of pop hits and tightly wound, energetic live videos. Artadi also became a prolific collaborator, recording and performing with acts such as Snarky Puppy, Jacob Collier, and Thundercat. She exercises complete creative freedom on solo projects such as 2020's Dizzy Strange Summer, a whimsical yet reflective mixture of vocal jazz, dream pop, and dance music. 2023's Forever Forever combines similar elements, but is generally tighter, knottier, and more mature and refined
