Nanjala is a dedicated pianist studying under powerhouse concert pianist Olga Kern at the Manhattan School of Music. She has been honored by the Gustav Mahler Piano Prize and is a successive winner of the Young Musicians Competition. Having achieved distinction in ABRSM Grades 1-8 in her foundational years, Nanjala continues to refine her artistry through both performance and study.

Her musical journey has been profoundly shapedby the women who have guided and influenced her. She has had the privilege of participating in masterclasses with Anna Magdalena Kokits and Chantal Balestri and studying under the mentorship of Winnie Mureithi, Hannah Emmrich, and Younkyung Kim. Each of these women brings a unique, nuanced approach to music- making, and their influence can be heard in Nanjala’s own performances, which draw upon an intimate, sensitive interpretation of sound.

Through her concept of ‘sonic séance,’ Nanjala strives to create a space where both performer and audience actively channel the emotional energy of the music. In doing so, she honors the Divine Feminine force that has guided her, embracing the nurturing, intuitive qualities that infuse her artistry. Her performances become a shared experience, one where the audience's emotional landscapes are as integral to the performance as the music itself.
