Desta French
Hailing from Camden Town, north London, Desta French is a clear example of the cultural influences weaved into London’s genetic make up, due to the waves of diaspora from around the world. Her parents are both immigrants of Colombian and Italian decent, and you can hear this loudly and see it clearly through her 360 approach as a musical artist. Her music is predominantly soulful, with R&B and hip hop undertones that she grew up listening to. More recently infusing folkloric flavours from her motherland and pioneering a new wave of Latino/London fusions to the world.
