About

Femi Oriogun-Williams is a writer, musician and radio producer. He was born at 00:00 under a Taurus moon to a room of laughing people. His mum was laughing from drugs and exhaustion and, he imagines, everyone else was laughing in solidarity. The only person not laughing was Femi, which the midwife apparently said was ‘not a bad thing’. He lives and works in London, not far from where he was born, where he has laughed frequently since.

His work has been broadcast on Radio 3 and Radio 4 and he has made podcasts and sound installations for various institutions such as Somerset House, Serpentine Gallery, Bergen Kunsthall and Rough Guides. He has recently been awarded Arts Council England funding; created a collection of audio testimonies about growing up as a BIPOC in the countryside; co-written a piece of original gig theatre at the Vaults festival.
