The artistic practice of Otay:onii (Lane Shi) spans across music, performance, installation, and film composition. After featuring on our COSMOS Embassy Film, we're honored to welcome her to the Le Guess Who? stage this year. Now, the artist reveals her new album True Faith Ain't Blind, a record that challenges established norms between classical and metal with acoustic piano and voice.
Once upon a time New York-bound, originally from Haining, China, and now nested in Berlin, Otay:onii’s music is as well-traveled as she is; her masterful navigation of profound discussions on immigration, eastern and western perspectives, and divide bridging have garnered her widespread critical acclaim.
Otay:onii performs at Le Guess Who? 2024 on Friday, 8 November. Also performing at the festival are a.o. Kim Gordon, Mabe Fratti featuring Shards, The Body & Dis Fig, Lord Spikeheart, GNOD + MC Sissi, The Holy Mountain Live Score – Written and Performed by Bo Ningen, and many more.
