“From the heart of England, Yorkshire-born Londoner Bex Burch is a popular figure in the vibrant world of contemporary jazz music.

Known for her unique style, which she describes as “messy minimalism”, Burch’s work is a fusion of space, repetition and controlled chaos – a philosophy that honours musical heritage while daring to explore new frontiers.

Her journey began with an 18-month apprenticeship in Ghana, West Africa, studying traditional Dagaare xylophone music.

This profoundly shaped her musical identity and sent her on a path of creative self-discovery and professional growth.

As a percussionist and composer, she has carved out a niche where polyrhythms meet minimalism, creating music that speaks a universal language of connection and understanding. Burch’s love for her craft is evident in her handmade gyil, which is a testament to her commitment.”
