Sekou

This event has ended

The Academy, Thursday 23rd April

Having previously opened for the likes of FLO and Reneé Rapp, Sekou is swiftly making a name for himself as an unmissable, captivating live performer. During September’s FLO support slot, the Leicestershire-born musician raised the roof at venues across the UK and Europe including London’s O2 Brixton Academy with a performance described as “perfect” by CLASH Magazine.

Now at a pivotal point in his career, Sekou has already taken the time to carefully craft the foundations for greatness. The 21-year-old made the Top 10 shortlist of BBC Radio 1’s Sound of 2024 poll, has completed standout performances on Later… with Jools Holland and 2025’s TIFF Tribute Awards, and also made history as the youngest ever BRIT nominee, with a Rising Star Award nomination. No stranger to connecting with his musical peers and inspirations, Sekou has collaborated with huge names in the game including Justin Bieber, Central Cee, Kevin Abstract, and recently earned praise from Elton John. ‘In A World We Don’t Belong Pt. 1’ builds upon Sekou’s foundations of greatness and solidifies his place as an essential emerging voice in British music, as he steadily builds a distinct identity with every project.
