KWAMINA BINEY
Sound Designer
Binnie (he/him) moved to the "Big Apple" to pursue a dream of making impactful art. As a recording artist, Kwamina released several projects under the name Binnie Musa. In the process of recording his first mixtape demos, Binnie discovered his desire to understand the technical side of audio in an attempt to have more intention on the processing of the music. By his first studio album, Selective Memory (released 2018), Binnie was a full-fledged producer/engineer working with many Brooklyn based artists in accompaniment with his own projects. From his humble beginnings, as an A1 at New Life Missionary Baptist Church, he continued to water his growth by working for Off-Broadway theaters such as Saint Ann's Warehouse, The Public Theater, SoHo Rep, and the Signature Theater to name a few. His hard work ethic and willingness to expand his knowledge of the field has led him to be a major contributor to many important projects, including Sound Designer for The Till Trilogy, a series of plays written by Ifa Bayes (Helen Hayes Award), Nora Chipaumire's Nehanda an Opera (Lincoln Center), and for the latest project, A1/ Sound Designer for LaTasha Barns’ The Jazz Continuum.
