Uly, Saïna & Xadi
Woolwich Works and Runway Artists present A fantastic opportunity to catch three emerging artists in one eveningThese exciting singer-songwriting talents all blend layers of neo-soul, hip-hop, jazz and R&B into something completely new.
Uly
Uly’s heart has always been battling his head. After studying Astrophysics in University and prior to beginning his professional music career, Uly (né Rafino Murphy) did an internship in physics in Japan. He left that world for music, feeling an undeniable call to create. Although the Dubliner cut his teeth playing metal and grunge, it would be only after picking up the trumpet and leaving the hardcore scene that Uly would surface.
Supporting his habit by working in cafés and music shops, he developed a signature nebulous, lo-fi funk/soul sound. Often producing his own tracks in his childhood bedroom, Uly’s early singles were full of joy, sonically speaking, with warm horns and speckled production — a ray of sunshine illuminating the dust in the air. Praised by the Irish music scene as a fresh new voice to watch, coupled with a high-profile placement on the hit BBC series Normal People, Uly might just be the Next Big Thing.
Saïna
North West London-based singer/songwriter/producer Saïna (pronounced Sa-ee-na) took up the piano and guitar age 7, started to write her own songs age 12 and then attended the BRIT School.
Working from her bedroom studio, she writes and collaborates with other musicians to carve out a style influenced by Neo-Soul, R&B, Jazz & Hip Hop. Through the striking visual imagery and irony in her lyrics she explores themes of connection, vulnerability and renewal.
Xadi
West London artist Xadi blurs the lines between rapper, singer and producer. He has received attention and accolades for his minimalistic, spaced-out production, which leaves space for his infectious melodies.
Unfortunately NeONE the Wonderer is no longer able to appear, as previously advertised, due to illness.
