ARTISTS ON TOUR. THESE FIVE
ARE NOT TO BE MISSED.TOKiMONSTA
Over the past three
years or so, LA’s
electronic-producer
scene has been
rivalling that of
London. Exhibit A:
Classically trained
pianist-cum-producer
Jennifer Lee, better
known by stage name,
TOKiMONSTA. The
30-year-old has
collaborated with Kool
Keith, Kelly Rowland
and Anderson Paak
(also playing Laneway)
and was the first
female to be signed
to Flying Lotus’
Brainfeeder label.
Having dropped her
fifth album in October,
expect plenty of
hype surrounding
this R&B-meets-
glitch producer’s
set at Laneway.
