Kitty Amor

One of Afro House’s ascendant stars, DJ and Producer Ki7y Amor has been making an unmistakeable name for herself over the last ten years, rapidly becoming a pillar of the UK’s growing scene.

Specialising in deep and African electronic house music, her musical style is unique thanks to calculated selections and undeniable skill that never fails to make an impact on dance floors.

Heading up her residency club nights Motherland and Sessions alongside fellow DJ/Producer Sef Kombo, Ki7y’s ability to create an immersive experience with sound and visuals has further established these projects as some of the UK’s main domains for African electronic music. Supporters Mixmag recognised Motherland events for their “inspiring representation of the diversity of [London’s] black community... with its jubilant and celebratory atmosphere.”

Savvy promoters who have noticed Ki7y’s diverse selections and strong connection with audiences have booked her alongside famed DJs such as Black Coffee, Atjazz, Culoe De Song, DJEFF, Roni Size and Horse Meat Disco. Her mark has been made internationally through performances at highly recognised festivals such as Soundwave, as well as dominating stages in Ibiza, Amsterdam, Croatia and South Africa. In January 2019, Ki7y Amor became the first UK DJ from the Afro House scene to play at Printworks - one of London’s most in-demand party venues. Ki7y closed the same year by becoming the first female DJ to perform at Deep In The City, the Johannesburg night curated by Black Coffee and Themba.

Undeterred by the temporary closure of the events industry in 2020, Ki7y and Sef Kombo, who have long been musical partners, responded to the challenge of COVID-19 by hosting a series of live DJ streams. The streams demonstrated Ki7y and Sef’s determination to always go the extra mile with their events, using eye-catching outdoor venues and indoor locations offering an immersive sonic and visual presentation. Ki7y followed this up by entering 2021 in strong form, as a cover star for Mixmag.

In the true spirit of a leader, Ki7y shed light on the growing Afro House community and made the case for why the sound and its talents are so deserving of attention. Making a huge mark for the Afro House scene in the UK, Ki7y accompanied the cover feature with a mammoth set for Mixmag’s Lab LDN.
