koumiya كُمِّية by koumiya
Koumiya uses electronic music to explore the central themes of her work: questions of identity, absence, individual and collective resistance, and scars. Moving between introspective poetry, defiance, and vulnerability, she weaves together multiple languages (Darija, Arabic, French, and English) and treats her voice as a fully fledged production element—bending, shifting, and transforming it throughout tracks shaped by trap, bass, dub, pop, and experimental influences.
Genres merge without hierarchy, intersecting freely to produce - through disorder - a fusion rather than a new genre, mirroring her diasporic cultural heritage and artistic influences. @_koumiya refuses to let genres, platforms, or algorithms dictate its direction.
The name Koumiya refers to a traditional North African dagger, primarily associated with Amazigh cultures. At once a weapon, an ornament, and an object of transmission - historically passed down from father to son - it embodies here a fractured inheritance, shaped by the producer’s personal history.
The Koumiya كُمِّية EP embodies a process of reclaiming and repairing a fragmented identity, situated between memory, struggle, and emancipation.
