with a repertoire consisting of instrumental electronic, experimental, ambient and techno music, lamin explores themes of displacement, identity and immigration, drawing inspiration from his own life and the migrant experience at large. lamin spent most of his early childhood in freetown, sierra leone until the civil war of the 1990s forced his family to flee to guinea. when he was just a teenager, his family relocated once more to the united states where he split his time between the cities of harlem, new york and alexandria, virginia. this move to the west and its inherent unfamiliarities shaped lamin’s understanding of the world at an impressionable age, pushing him to explore more experimental forms of artistic expression to give voice to his experiences and those of people like him. the artist’s eclectic music is also greatly influenced by the diverse musical styles he was exposed to as he moved from one location to the next.
