11. Ripsime : I Can't Fool Myself
Sep 06, 2024 Season 2 Episode 5
Joy Nkoyo/Ripsime

Ripsime is a British-Armenian, independent alt-pop songwriter, producer and visual artist. A creative force, her paintings alone have garnered intrigue from art enthusiasts and collectors alike, and her most recent EP 'Capsule I : Wicked & Wise' was met with acclaim from numerous online publications. 

In this episode, Ripsime shares the harrowing events that re-defined her life and music. In 2021, she took a trip to her motherland Artsakh during the Nagorno-Karabakh war. The corridor connecting Artsakh to Armenia experienced bombing and a shutdown during the recording process of her EP, resulting in a geographical blockade for over 90 days. Ripsime spent the next year documenting, raising money, and reaching out to news outlets, before releasing 'Capsule I'. Joy and Ripsime also dive into self-mastery, the age of social media, navigating the industry as a female music producer, as well as finding creative and personal fulfilment.
