Okay so I’m going to pick my top 2 events of the year, just because I wanted to talk about some sick moments from the perspective of being a promoter, and then from someone who’s in the audience
Burna Boy Homecoming Concert
This year started off so well, and there’s been a lot of contenders for the best concert of the year for me, but I really have to give it to Burna Boy. It was billed as his ‘homecoming’ concert, and it was way way better than I expected. The production/staging was great, the live band and dj worked really well together, and he sounded good live. I feel like he put a lot more effort into that night than some of our own artists do. I’m an afrobeats fan as well so it actually made me happy. Sick night!
Sanctuary LDN Presents: Ghetts
Secondly, the biggest night Sanctuary LDN has put on this year was he headline show with Ghetts. It was such a sick night, and taught me so much about working with bigger artists and companies in the music industry. We’re so used to doing things and making things happen for ourselves, and to be honest throughout the whole process I learn a lot! I’m lucky enough to be able to work with my friends in rap, and then Ghetts was the icing on the cake. Expect more from us in 2017…
