Acclaimed British poet, artist and musician Otis Mensah returns today with their first new music since moving to Berlin.

Created alongside producer Jackie Moonbather, ‘Sound Of Sleep’ presents listeners with an abstract yet considered style of sound that blends elements of ambient R&B with jazz and hip hop.

“‘Sound of Sleep’ explores the concept of introversion in an industry and society that revels in extroversion.’

In recent years, Mensah’s creativity has acquired them a series of noteworthy accomplishments. They was awarded the role of Poet Laureate for their home city of Sheffield in 2018, and received support from establishments as noted Jerwood Arts and Arts Council England.

Mensah’s upcoming ‘Winterskin’ EP is out on the 29th September 2023.
