On Friday 20 November, BIRD welcomes London-based artist Momoko Gill for one of the most exciting live shows of the season. Expect far more than a regular concert. This is a powerful collision of jazz, electronic music, spoken word, improvisation, and soulful experimentation.

Momoko Gill moves effortlessly between South London’s underground jazz scene and the world of boundary-pushing electronic artists such as Matthew Herbert, Tirzah, Coby Sey, and Alabaster DePlume. As a drummer, producer, composer, and vocalist, she creates performances that feel raw, hypnotic, and deeply human. Her music lives in the space between genres, and that’s exactly what makes it hit so hard live.

Through her collaboration Herbert & Momoko, she previously appeared at festivals and venues including Dekmantel, Rewire, Sónar, and Amsterdam’s Bimhuis. Now Rotterdam gets the chance to experience her own work up close in the intimate setting of BIRD.

If you are into artists like Tirzah, Yussef Dayes, SAULT, Little Simz, Nala Sinephro, or Alabaster DePlume, this is the type of concert you will talk about long after the final note. No predictable live set, no safe choices, just an artist fully locked into the moment.

BIRD invited Momoko Gill because her sound perfectly matches the spirit of the venue: future-facing music where jazz, electronics, soul, and club culture come together naturally.
