Operating in CA and NY, 7NMS is the public emergence of Marjani and Everett as a collaborative team, radically engaging art as a medium of elevation, healing, and futurity.

Everett is the composer and thought partner behind the award-winning and internationally touring production Memoirs of a... Unicorn, and a two-time New Music USA Awardee. His recent work includes composer/sound designer credits on Jaamil Kosoko’s Chameleon, Mayfield brooks’ Whale Fall, and Urban Bush Women’s Hair & Other Stories (2018).

With seven award-winning projects in ten years, 7NMS embodies a strong commitment to the Black radical imagination. Their project PROPHET is a recipient of the 2020 MAP Fund, a 2020 New Music USA Award, and the 2021 National Dance Project Production and Touring Grant.
