bio
Memphis LK is an Australian artist whose singular approach has seen her solidified as one of the country’s most exciting new artists. First making waves in Melbourne’s world class club scene, producer, songwriter, vocalist, and DJ Memphis LK is diligently self-produced and DIY, epitomising the new wave of femme voices in dance music.
Memphis LK’s music contains multitudes, a product of eclectic influences from 90s house and breakbeat to pop and EDM. The impulse to meet in the middle has always come naturally, writing and singing lyrics from a young age, while her experience DJing ignited the true raver within. Emotive vocals and lush, warm sounds create waves of nostalgia and euphoria, exemplified in her recently released EP, Say. Conceptualised between the UK and Australia, Say is Memphis LK at her most concise and developed, sitting comfortably at the intersection of underground club and pop music.
At her core Memphis is a performer, whose equal love for DJing and live performance has culminated into a transportive, high energy show. Memphis’ hybrid set guides her audience from hard hitting club music, to deeper cuts, all the way up to euphoric house party classics, while incorporating her live vocals and saxophone throughout. Providing a total sense of freedom and connection, Memphis has taken the stage at Pitchfork Music Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Pitch Music & Arts, sold out her electrifying True Love Rave 2024 dates (her debut Australian headline shows), as well as key plays across UK and Europe, including Field Day, Way Out West, Pitchfork Paris, The Warehouse Project, Phonox, Botanique and The Cause.
