When Alfa Mist was a teenager, he was dabbling in hip-hop and grime. By the time he got to college, he was teaching himself the piano and getting deeply into jazz.
“A huge part of hip-hop is sampling, so I just used to dig around and learned about so many different genres,” he explains. “I discovered jazz and started to listen to that.”
As well as falling head over heels for the visionary work of Miles Davis, he became obsessed with the atmospheric film scores of German composer Hans Zimmer. Alfa Mist’s own work is similarly soundtrack-worthy, creating a soulful vibe packed with heady emotion. “I’m pretty dark as a person I guess, so everything ends up sounding melancholy and reflective,” says Mist. “I want to make people feel something.”
Growing up and still living in Newham, there’s a real sense of place in Mist’s moody music. “There’s something very distinctively London about the stuff I’m making now,” he says. “It’s to do with where I grew up. It’s not like LA; all sunny, crazy and happy.” Last year’s conceptual ‘Nocturne’ EP – which featured a run of guests, including Tom Misch, Barney Artist and Jordan Rakei – was a case in point. Made largely at night, it was concerned with the things people think about just before they fall asleep. “Problems you have, things you’re grateful for or unsure about – I tried to bring them all out,” he says.

Please do a US tour. And bring Mansur Brown, Yussef Dayes, Rocco Paladino, and Tom Misch with you too.
Vincenzo Rimola
The guitarist that follows him on tour and also plays guitar on his album is Jamie Leeming. His style is more interesting and versatile, imho,

Honestly I think you're one of the most interesting musicians around today. your music speaks to me on a personal level, and I deeply enjoy it.
Thank you.
Kirsten Williams
I wholeheartedly agree with this
Andrzej Cała
No one like Alfa in these days. Pure beauty and sensitivity.
Tyler Forest
Alfa there's some king of an "aura" or philosophy evanescent in you, as a person and as the music you're playing, not only that you're giving it in a very simple, delicate and true way.
Thanks ++ for this, you're a true genuine gentleman ;-)
Cheers and Love from Paris France.
