Cameron Winters, known professionally as KAVARI, is a British artist and DJ currently based in Glasgow, Scotland. Renowned for her innovative productions, transgressive art, and live performances that fuse industrial, ambient, club, and noise music.

KAVARI was born in Birkenhead, England, and later moved to the Highlands of Scotland in her early childhood at age 6. She began performing in her late teens at club nights and raves in and around Scotland, some of which she organised due to the lack of diversity in her local music scene.

Her artistic philosophy is rooted in rejecting mainstream electronic music conventions, driven by a commitment to constant reinvention. This defiance challenges the repetition and complacency of the modern music industry. Her approach has gained global attention, cementing her as a key figure in the UK’s electronic underground. Hailed as “The Priestess of the Underground,” her work has earned praise from IDM pioneer Aphex Twin, who called it “some of the most brilliant, most interesting kicking electronic music” to emerge in recent years.

Influenced by artists such as Skrillex, Genesis P-Orridge, Lorn, & Arca. KAVARI’s works are marked by the use of abrasive textures with ethereal soundscapes and a focus on emotional expression, often channelling intense feelings into her work. In addition to her solo projects, she has collaborated with various artists, contributing to works by Yeule, REZZ, and TAAHLIAH.
