EyiTemi’s sound stretches past generic soul to weave in a diverse range of music influences from Jazz, Gospel to Hip Hop, Folk and laid back funk. She is joined by her 7 piece band and the formidable power house that is guest artist Xantone Blacq
With her heart rooted in Jazz, EyiTemi walks a path that is comfortably and firmly, her own. Her music is personal, self-written and rich with intention… “I feel I have a voice that is relevant in my piece of earth and my ambition is to express this honestly through my music”. Her musical inspirations range from legends Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Frank Sinatra to favourites’ Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Sade and India Aire
Following on from her 2 EPs, EyiTemi released her first full album, Kaleidoscope last year (and on vinyl, last month) to much acclaim including:
● BBC Introducing Track of the Week, Groundhog Day - Adam Walton
● Jazz FM ‘On My Playlist’ Track of the Week, Vision Blurred - YolanDa Brown
Joining her on the night as guest artist is jazz, funk and soul artist Xantone Blacq. With a career spanning over a quarter of a century to date, Xantone has collaborated with an impressive list of iconic artists including Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Earth Wind and Fire, Emelie Sande, Laura Mvula and Jessie J! He has performed at notable events including The Grammy Awards, Glastonbury and Montreux Jazz Festival. He is an absolute unmissable treat!
What to expect: Intimate night packed full of warmth, heart, fun …and great music!
