Haitian New Zealand teen Imani-J is already carving out a powerful voice in the Afrofusion and R&B scene. An artist in the truest sense of the word – singer, songwriter, dancer and performer. Imani-J’s music brings you to a world of rich lyrical vulnerability and smooth melodies with vibrant and rhythmic beats. It’s a sonic space where emotional honesty meets bold self-assurance. Perfect for lovers of SZA, Doja Cat and Tyla.

After the success of her debut EP ‘EXPECTATIONS’ in 2025, Imani-J will be releasing her second mixtape later this year that she wrote in writing sessions across Seattle, LA London and NZ. With her talent and dedication she is poised to make a significant impact on the NZ and global music scene.
