Introducing the mercurial musical talent of a half English, half Tanzanian young man who hails from the outskirts of Nottingham, goes by the name of Ady Suleiman and is set to emerge as one of the most unique artists in the UK in recent years. A deft songwriter and a singer with soulful brilliance, Ady’s timelessly classic yet fresh sound has garnered fans ranging from Chance the Rapper and Joey Bada$$ through to Labrinth and Michael Kiwanuka.

After being spotted by BBC Introducing’s Dean Jackson, the 22 year old has supported the likes of Laura Mvula and Lianne Le Havas on tour, performed at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and Bestival, and picked up a ‘Breakthrough Act of the Year’ award at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards. Currently busy in the studio working with producers SMV (Plan B, Kwabs), Ady is set to release his debut EP (State of Mind), featuring songs written solely by Ady, via Pemba Records in May this year.
