Winners of the 2025 MOBO Award for Best Alternative Music Act, ALT BLK ERA are UK sister duo Nyrobi (21) and Chaya (18). Their debut album, Rave Immortal—a UK Rock & Metal No. 1—is a genre-smashing blend of electronic sounds fused with rock and drum & bass, showcasing their ability to bring underground club energy into alternative spaces.

As well as lighting up Spotify editorial playlists and UK radio, the sisters have showcased their sound on major UK platforms, performing live on Later… with Jools Holland and Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, cementing their reputation as one of the most exciting new forces in genre-fluid music. BBC Introducing hailed them as Ones to Watch in 2025 before they represented the UK at SXSW in Texas, performing at The British Music Embassy.

They have also delivered standout performances at iconic UK and European festivals, including Lowlands, Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, and Download, where their raw energy leaves audiences in no doubt that ALT BLK ERA are redefining what alternative, electronic, and rock music can be.

Press acclaim has come from NME, Revolver, and Kerrang!, with the BRIT Awards calling their sound “break the repeat button.” Beyond the music, the sisters advocate for hidden disability awareness and inclusivity in the industry, inspired by Nyrobi’s personal journey—a theme woven throughout Rave Immortal. With a growing international profile, ALT BLK ERA are proving themselves to be one of the most forward-thinking acts shaping the future of alternative music.
