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.
