Alfa Mist

Growing up in Newham, East London, Alfa Mist began his musical journey as a grime and hip hop producer. The self-taught pianist and sometimes rapper soon found himself drawn to the jazz, world music and film soundtracks he discovered through sampling. His sound blends melancholy jazz harmony with alternative hip-hop and soul. We caught up with Alfa in Sleeper Sounds Studio, London, to learn about his background and inspirations – plus take the opportunity to get a session in with his new Yamaha MONTAGE:

We recently had the opportunity to livestream an event featuring Alfa Mist in collaboration with Yusef Dayes – check it out:
