Info for Breathe Deep

Der aus dem Süden Londons stammende in Norwich geborene Singer-Songwriter und Gitarrist ist schon länger fester Bestandteil der aufkeimenden Jazzszene der Hauptstadt durch die vorherige Zusammenarbeit mit Leuten wie Shabaka Hutchings über Moses Boyd bis Yussef Dayes und tourte bereits mit Kamasi Washington. Entsprechend viele Kollaborateure sind auf seinem Debutalbum vertreten, die wesentlicher Bestandteil seiner bisherigen Reise waren, darunter u.a. Joe Armon-Jones, Sons of Kemet und Maisha sowie mit einem Feature auch Lianne La Havas.

Über das Album sagt er: “‘Breathe Deep’ is a pretty broad presentation of who I am musically and my journey to get to this point. On a personal level, it’s a reflection of the effort put in during that path of self-bettering, both emotionally and in life more broadly. It’s about preparing oneself for failure and growing from that. Taking a moment to step back and see where things are going and where one has been. It also addresses the resilience of people, which is reflected in the more political moments on the album. The world is a messed-up place but people still find ways of preparing themselves for it.”
