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 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]
