The Train is coming to Sofar London (@SofarLondon)

By Performances


I’m proper excited to announce that I’ll be playing an intimate set at one of the prestigious Sofar nights!

Having played host to some of the biggest names in the UK and indeed around the world; it’s a pleasure to be able to add my name to the list of artists who’ve frequented the platform. Names like Leon Bridges, Lianne La Havas, Rag’N’Bone Man to name a few.

Any how the typical Sofar style the events are at SECRET LOCATIONS announced the day before the event; so the most I can tell you is that it’s London show on 28th June! You’ll need to sign up to be in with a chance of getting tickets and it will sell out ’cause that’s what happens! LOL!

…But to celebrate this occasion Sofar have got a competition going on for you and a friend to potentially bag yourself some tickets! You’ll find details on Sofar’s Website.

So make sure you’re in with a chance to see me LIVE! • #NothingMoreNothingLess

AKS at the Unsigned Music Awards 2016

By My Thoughts, Performances

I woke up this morning wanted to share something with y’all.

A few years ago I decided to take some time away from releasing music. For many differing reasons but mostly financial I told myself that I had to choose between pursuing some of the personal things I wanted to undertake as a man (the most important of which was getting married) and a musical career which until that point had been a relative liability. (You get out what you put in and all that jazz)

Anyway, in the midst of all that I was faced with obstacle after obstacle (life threatening health issues, family politics, lost studio sessions, corrupted hard drives etc), and loads of ppl telling me that I’d left it too long to put out a new project. I never stopped creating and albeit that I internalised some of those fears and problems…I never stopped believing!

Fast forward about 4 years and before releasing my sophomore EP I remember having convos with my business partners (Jason & Nii) about my goals with the project; the biggest of which was to transcend the achievements of my previous body of work! I took a leap of faith with the songs I’d written without a clear idea of how I’d meet every need but having faith that I would by God’s Grace.

Following months of successes since the project’s release; on Thursday night I hopped on stage at the inaugural Unsigned Music Awards, nominated for 2 awards including the biggest of the night and played to a full house audience of friends, fans, & movers and shakers in the industry.

Although I never walked away with the awards; I can’t deny how blessed I feel to have exceeded my goals.

And I say all that to say this:

The God of the mountain is the God of the valley. In each case He has a purpose.
Sometimes it’s better to take your time in the knowledge that the things God has set apart for you, will be yours!
