SODI COOKEY

@sodicookeymusic

 7:40pm -  8:05pm

London born Sodi Cookey spent much of his childhood growing up in the musical melting pot of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. He moved from London to Nigeria when he was 2 years old and returned in his youth with £50 and a rucksack on his back (which he still has to this day) to pursue a career in music. Upon arriving back in London Sodi began gigging regularly and spending any spare time he could in the studio. He soon connected with producer Pete Lyons and the two of them got to work on his debut EP. Sodi's lyrics echo storytellers of the past who possessed powerful voices. He takes influence from an eclectic selection of artists including Paul Robeson, Wilson Pickett, Minnie Riperton, Aretha Franklin, Rosetta Tharp, Mavis Staples, Jef Buckley, Mahalia Jackson, Luciano Pavarotti and H.E.R.  Sodi's has recorded his debut EP which will be released in 2022 .


KYRA

@kyravision

8:20pm - 8:45 / 8:50pm


Quickly establishing herself as a key player in the UK music scene, Kyra’s unorthodox and gripping releases have caught the attention of BBC Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw, featuring in his ‘track of the week’ series, Jamz Supernova’s BBC1Xtra Top 5 EPs, Jess Izsatt (BBC Introducing) and has also garnered features in the likes of Hunger Magazine, Noctis, tmrw and Clash. Her debut project ‘Xanadu’ received high praise, propelling Kyra a headline UK tour with rave reviews, leading her to be handpicked to headline BBC Music Introducing’s ‘futuretense series’ at Southbank Centre. It was followed by a sold-out immersive experience, complete with a live band and visual rooms.

On top of this, Kyra has been making notable strides on her writing projects. Session collaborations include Samm Henshaw, Maverick Sabre (Jorja Smith, Kojey Radical), J Warner (Sinead Harnett, Jaz Karis) and Monique Lawz (Ray BLK, Rihanna).

THE HALF WAY KID

@thehalfwaykid

9:05pm - 9:35pm 


‘If you are looking, I want there to be something here for you to find’. So goes the saying of London singer-songwriter and poet, The Halfway Kid.

Drawing buzz for his remarkable songwriting and electric live performances, his laid back and raw sound is intimate and direct. These are songs where someone is talking to you

The Halfway Kid was born and raised in London, but is of Sudanese and Eritrean descent. It would be easy to say this wide sense of identity is reflected in the different genres the songs draw from, but he says it's much simpler than that. 'Some people want to get their personalities across, but I just want to get the song across.'
