Hailing from the township of Bophelong in South Africa SNO, born Selina Nongaliphe Oliphant, has always seen music as a beacon of strength. Currently a resident of Manchester, she is woven very tightly into the city’s dynamic music scene.
A crate digger and vinyl enthusiast who has played at some of the most notable stages globally over the last few years with an incomparable tune selection and sincere enthusiasm for music of all genres, from all over the world. A selector, event curator and a resident of NTS Radio and Reform Radio (UK), SNO can travel musically from Cape to Cairo and beyond effortlessly.
This is evident in her presentation consistently, akin to an apt sonic depiction of the Continent that is as rich as AFRICA musically. This attribute has garnered sincere appreciation from African Music giants such as Tony Allen, Kanda Bongo Man, Femi Kuti, Ebo Taylor, Pat Thomas, Les Amazones D'Afrique, Dele Sosimi and the legendary Amadou and Mariam.
She has played at many prestigious festivals during her time in the scene, including Houghton, We Out Here, Dimensions, ION, Beathearder, Meadows in the Mountains, Parklife and RePercussion to mention but a few. She has shared diverse and decent stages with luminaries such as Acid Arab, Awesome Tapes From Africa, Azymuth, Bonobo, Caribou, Channel One, Four Tet, Gilles Peterson, Jamie xx and Quantic, - only creating fans of her peers everytime she plays.
