About the Artist

Dreamer Isioma, a Chicago-based Nigerian American artist, delivers a live musical experience that is as kaleidoscopic and multi-dimensional as their debut album, Goodnight Dreamer. Their performances are a vibrant expedition through time and space, blending genres from Afrobeats to 1950s rock 'n' roll, '70s funk, R&B, and modern pop and electronic music. This genre-hopping journey reflects not only their diverse musical influences but also their personal exploration of identity and existence. Fans often recall Dreamer's charismatic stage presence and the way they effortlessly weave storytelling with music, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. A defining moment often shared among fans is how Dreamer channels their heritage and personal history into their art, making each show a unique narrative experience. Their live shows are not just concerts but immersive storytelling sessions, where the audience is invited to join Dreamer on a cosmic voyage of sound and self-discovery. And yes, while they might not literally solve the mysteries of the universe on stage, they come pretty close—think of it as a musical TED Talk with better beats and fewer PowerPoint slides.
