Kat Nzingha is the artistic persona of Kator Moore, a multidisciplinary experimental artist born and raised in Philadelphia whose creative practices explore abstruse textures through sound, performance, technology, and sculptural materials. Their work alludes to the experience of transness and transitioning bodies, demonstrating the importance of reformation and becoming. Bridging the physical and digital, the cryptic sounds they produce are the extensions of their sculptural objects. Kat Nzingha uses constituent forms, industrial materials, and digital electronic hardware to express the trans experience as the feeling of change. Their work often generates thoughtful discourses to ask new and urgent questions about change, identity, and the body.

After releasing an EP, Angeltribe on London label TT in 2020, and Vorphic Skin on Toothgrinder Press in 2023, Kat Nzingha released the album Grind on AngeltribeXTL. Shorty after, they released RIM under the artist name BRYYA on the label formfourm which consists of heavy focused sound design techniques.
