Sudan Archives is Brittney Denise Parks, a violinist, singer and songwriter who learned the violin by ear as a little kid in Cincinnati before setting up shop in Los Angeles. On Stones Throw Records she makes the violin sound brand new against thick, woozy beats, with her voice sliding between soul, R&B and something harder to pin down.
Athena arrived in 2019, and Natural Brown Prom Queen in 2022 widened the canvas into a sprawling, playful self-portrait, with "Selfish Soul" as its bright, bristling calling card. In 2023 she won two Libera Awards, for Best Breakthrough Artist/Release and Best R&B Record, and The BPM followed in 2025.
