Kinzoogianna AKA Anna Stubbs is a multi-talented producer, record label owner, songwriter, pianist and singer who, with her band Brotherly, forged new ground in London's exploding Nu Jazz, Broken Beat and Jazztronica scene. Brotherly's music has been championed by Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Moses Boyd, Jacob Collier, and Jordan Rakei.

Due for release September 12th 2025, Kinzoogianna's second self produced solo album 'The Clique of '86' centres around a cast of 80s Essex characters inspired by this genre breaking year in music. Ranging from broken beat and electro inspired tunes like Cherry Devoy and Bottle it Up, to the jazz funk classics of 'Queendom of Sound' (Hal Smith's I Love Music) and 'Back of the Bus', Kinzoogianna showcases her drum programming, synth bass, keyboard, flute and vocal skills, forging new sounds, exploring classic 80s Indo-fusion (Springfield's Uptune), broken Afro-beat (Mind Your Business) and early house (Nancy Nice and Nasty). Three dance videos accompany the album, with Kinzoogianna exploring body popping with the amazing UK dancer Jutsu (Cherry Devoy), car stunt adventures for Jaeq McFaeq and Lukey McCarKeys in Nancy Nice and Nasty, and a madcap day out with 'Bestie Michelle' on 'Back of the Bus'.

Anna quotes 'Written after a period of the consequences and subsequent coming to terms of my turbulent childhood, this album is my way of embracing all my sides, the defiant and rebellious 'Stubbsy' the nerdy and intellectual 'Springfield', the high and mighty 'Queenie' and, providing many laughs for his outrageous behaviour, the mouthy and aggressive loveable Essex bloke 'Jaeq McFaeq'.

Musically this album includes all my loves and history, electro, house, funk, jazz, soul, broken beat, and my lifelong skills, singing, keyboards, drum programming, percussion, flute, dance, choreography, art, song writing, and music production. I am incredibly proud of this work, and my family and friends have all been involved, either as cameos, artwork designers, stylists, video directors, dancers, car stuntmen. We have had 18 months of great memories together creating this album. I have also travelled to Brazil and India to tour and play with incredible musicians to enrich the present influences to the retro sounds of 'The Clique of '86' bringing this psychological journey to its natural end in 2025.'

With Rob Mullarkey on mix engineering and star bass turn on Queendom of Sound, Nick Watson from Fluid Mastering, and long time friend Villain on album design the project is complete.

The album launch party is at Jazz Refreshed, 91 Living Room, on September 11th, with Kinzoogianna's trio, Tom Mason on bass and synths, and Dougal Taylor on drums. Tickets are available here
