Alfa Mist
Born Sekitelo Esparto in Newham, London, England, the musician / producer / songwriter / MC is better known by his stage name, Alfa Mist. Originally interested in a professional football career, he became interested in music while attending school. In his teens, he began producing hip hop music and while seeking samples to incorporate into his own recordings, he discovered jazz. He then began mixing his love of jazz improvisation into his own productions and created his own unique sound. He began collaborating with several artists including Jordan Rakei, Tom Misch, drummer Richard Spaven, and producer Lester Duval. Alfa Mist’s debut release was the Epoch EP (2014), which was a collaboration with Emmavie. His solo debut was the 2015 Nocturne EP, followed by his long-awaited debut album Antiphon (2017). After the release of the single “Love is the Message,” a collaboration with Yusseff Days and Mansure Brown, Alfa Mist released his sophomore album, Structuralism (2019). He started his own label, Sekito, and began releasing music by other artists as well as occasional tracks of his own. He signed with the Anti- label and issued the album Bring Backs in 2021, which was followed two years later by the album Variables. This 2023 release included the singles “Aged Eyes” (featuring Kaya Thomas-Dyke), “Apho” (featuring Bongesiwe Mabandla), and “4th Feb (Stay Awake).”
