THIS IS DAVIEY
Music, film, writing, art and systems by DAVIEY. Made in Nairobi, connected by questions of dignity, identity, survival and the freedom to create.
THIS IS DAVIEY is the home of a connected creative practice by Davies Musau Mutuku. Music, screen stories, essays, poems, images and objects do different jobs inside the same body of work. They return to the underdog, the cost of conformity, the systems that shape a life, and the possibility of making something despite them.
The music arc runs through Top Dog Season, Welcome to the Dog Pound and Doggy Style. A Decent Chance and A Chance of Rage explore opportunity and consequence through two complementary screen stories. Fateci Caso carries the essays and philosophical inquiry. An Utter Waste of Time preserves the early poetry; Memento Mori gathers fiction. Domestic Propaganda turns observations into public notices, thermal issues and objects people can carry.
Kings Forge is the commercial and technical practice: identities, websites, business systems, campaigns and practical tools. That work belongs here as evidence of making, while the artist's work remains the reason for the whole infrastructure. Each record states what exists, what is a manuscript or concept, and what is still being developed. Connections invite a visitor to move from a song to its story, a story to an essay, and an essay to an object without needing to understand the whole universe first.
