“Superb. Sitting on the altar steps with a synth, her fabulously expressive vocals colour sparse, pensive compositions.” THE WIRE
Radio Hito is the stage name of Nguyễn Zen Mỹ, an Italo-Vietnamese artist based in Brussels. We’d not come across her before, but listening through her live performances sent by her agent we just had to book her – there is an elegance and poise to her beautiful compositions. Classically trained, she sings stunning minimalist songs over addictively hypnotic synth patterns (no loops!). Really powerful and unique!
Trained as a classical pianist and with an initial background in art printing, she did her masters at Central Saint Martins specializing in typography (visualizing language), type design and editorial practices. She composes and questions language and its limits, notably through writing, publishing, singing and performing.
As Radio Hito, she has quickly gained recognition in the last years through her minimalist yet powerful performances in festivals and venues all over Europe. Her last two albums are on Midi Fish and Kraak Records in Belgium. With her next album to be released by Maple Death Records & Meakusma, based on the book l’Usage et les attributs du cœur by French poet Claude Royet-Journoud, she continues to question the enigma and limits of language – both poetic and musical.
Since 2012 she has been a full Professor at the Academy of Arts in Strasbourg , France (HEAR Strasbourg) where she co-founded the Graphic […] languages Master program and a common program with the University of the Arts Strasbourg. In 2022 she also joined the team at historical French publishing house Editions Corti dedicated to poetry & literature and runs the poetic imprint & production label DSCRD.
RADIO HITO is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the European Union and Pro Helvetia.
