Manni Dee

About the artist

Manni Dee is a sought-after artist, producer and DJ - an advocate for non-conformism. Cultivating a sound, vision and taste that synthesises boundaries and nurtures collaboration. As a producer Manni has worked alongside FKA Twigs, Yeat, Jeff Wootton (Gorillaz), Daniel Avery (co-producing his no 1 UK dance album, ‘Ultra Truth’), Cecile Believe, AK Paul, Kelvin Krash, Yunè Pinku, HAAi, James Massiah and Jas Shaw (Simian Mobile Disco). Other projects include working on campaigns for Alexander McQueen, Adidas, BBC Olympics and Toyota. “I keep leaning on trusting my taste, I believe there’s too much emphasis on what “works” and what people “want”. It’s important for me to avoid those things and keep the process pure.” Manni has performed DJ sets at Boiler Room, Glastonbury, Warehouse Project, Piknic Electronik Festival, fabric and ADE as well as tours of India, China and North America. His understanding of sound is unburdened by genre specifics, instead motivated by an ever-expanding set of interwoven aesthetic codes. “ “I like to adopt a child-like playfulness that enables me to get to the bottom of what I want to make.”
