MembersScott Mitchell Gorski, Lindsey Paige Miller

Okapi is an American musical duo composed of Scott Mitchell Gorski (upright bass, vocals) and Lindsey Paige Miller (cello) based in Asheville, North Carolina.[1]

The two met and began performing in Chicago, IL in 2012, but are based in Asheville, North Carolina since 2017.[2][1]

Okapi's music draws "classical, jazz, Middle Eastern, and psychedelia phrasings", with Gorski's "lyrics giving artistic voice to a doctrine and philosophy written like a mission statement on the Okapi website".[3]

Okapi was selected to perform at the 2022 Big Ears experimental festival,[4] and a track of theirs was selected to be included with The Wire Magazine's Issue No. 477.[5]
