@facesoul live at @islington_ah - these were a few of the many special moments from this night. Was a honor to be the MD with such a fantastic team. A one-off full band show, songs we wrote together, and sharing the stage with my brother @facesoul So much to share from this week and run up to these stretch of shows, but all I’ll say as it takes a village to make these shows come together. Big ups to the band: @charlieallenguitar 🎸 @jjwallace_ 🥁 @jasperfordbassman @itstroyeverett 🎻🎛️ @michaelsebastian 🎸 @larterjames 🪘🪇 @maddybrodrick 🎤 @hydiehumbles 🎤 @lye.ll making sure our show sounded as good as possible 🔊 @btsbobby and @jacob.51647 for holding it down and being the foundation for us to do our thing 👑👑 Special mentions to @peterbamboukian for capturing these moments 🎥 @mt.douglas_ for keeping it together and being there for the team 🤝 @miles.spooner on the top tier trims ✂️

Saudade is out today! This one is truly a family affair. A song shaped by so many incredible people and so much love along the way. We first started building the idea with @moysesdossantos and @lyndadawn_ at my studio in London. Then the amazing @theocroker brought his touch to it, including a beautiful melodic trumpet solo. When maestro @arthurverocai_ agreed to create the string arrangement, we honestly couldn’t believe it. Having been inspired by his music for so many years, this feels like a real bucket-list moment. Huge love to @kikocontinetino for bringing those authentic Brazilian keys, and to the brilliant @milescjames for adding the final sparkles and touches. Big thanks as well to my brother @riccardodamian for helping bring this record over the line, and to @freemonk_thefriarystudios for the mix and all the analogue magic. And of course, my brother in groove @francescomendolia on drums, recorded by @aelovera , with percussion from @dadacostarj . So grateful to everyone who helped make this record what it is ❤️🇧🇷

anaiis (@hotcocoacartel ) live at Islington Assembly Hall. An honour and a joy to be on MD and keys duties for this special show, celebrating the album “Devotion & The Black Divine.” Bringing the intricacy and emotion of this music to life alongside such an incredible team was truly one for the books.

Bismillah, with teary eyes, I’m proud to announce my first-ever full-length Album “ARRIVAL” is out now. I spent a year in isolation with my now close friend and collaborator @ankitsuri . Trying to figure out what this record was asking of me. In the process of creating this, we almost lost our minds, but our faith in the final product carried us through. We created over 60 pieces to distill into the 14 songs that you now hear on this record. I thank the Most High that I can arrive at this point. During this process, I made some major changes in my creative structure and sense of direction - trusting myself and the team around me. This world can seriously chew you up and spit you out if you don’t have a sense of who you are, and I’ve slowly yet surely gotten to a place where I can truly be me again. To heal past and through the pains that defined this journey into the man I now am. I’d like to provide a list of individuals and institutions that have gotten me to where I am with his record: @pplmomentumfund and @prsformusic . Ithank you for making me a 2024 grant winner.This initial investment enabled me to kickstart the recording process as an independent artist. @_ankitsuri , my brother, my friend, one of my core people for life. The day I asked if he wanted to be my executive producer, he has ridden alongside me on this insane journey and helped me from losing the plot more than once. Look what we made! @teocinti since I crossed paths with this man we have only ever had like 2/3 sessions together and we’ve made such beautiful art and a beautiful friendship - thank you for little star @grades what a legend, after creating believe with him in my last EP I really wanted to try something with him on this record, and he helped me bring beautiful human to life. And when things in my world got crazy he met me with such simply transparency ease and kindness. This won’t ever be forgotten. @benstancombe , I thank you for the 2 incredible songs we made together, Brother and Grateful, which in my opinion, are bangers and mash. @sukina_noor for the beautiful words on ‘Horizons’ Part 2 in the comments! Part 2 in the comments!

It’s been a busy stretch in @lyndadawn_ world! The most recent highlight being a main stage appearance at @xthetracks festival last month on this beautiful sunny day. Made all the more special with a link up with @freenationals familia. Full circle stuff. Earlier this year we did a main show at @officialronnies , a UK tour and a string of international shows, including @jassminewarsaw . Not to mention a live session with @gillespeterson at the legendary Maida Vale studios. Grateful to work with this brilliant team and to bring Lynda’s music to the stage. Up next - @porijazz in Finland, and back for @weoutherefest and a headline appearance at @jazzonwickldn - See you out there! 📸: @studiogardn
