Tennessee-based alternative hip-hop artist, Imani, is a musical force to be reckoned with. Vibrant and bright, Imani is a free-spirited artist from the South who seamlessly blends playful lyricism with spirited storytelling. She honed her craft for more than a decade. Imani's diverse musical experiences, from being trained as a classical pianist to performing in a Led Zeppelin cover band, has led to an amalgam of genres carefully woven into a powerful blend of hip-hop, soul, funk, and RnB.

​

Imani has performed at Tennessee's TriPride, Alamance Pride, many Portland hip-hop showcases, including The Thesis and Hungry Hungry Hip-Hop. She has also shared the stage with other great local hip-hop acts, like Avery Harden, Fountaine, Samuel The 1st, Maarquii, Perry Porter & Romaro Franceswa, Randal Wyatt, and KayelaJ. She has opened for non-hip-hip local bands, like Katastro, New World Aviation Committee, and The Macks.
