About this Event

“My man Ady is in another lane. His voice is something else.”

Joey Bada$$

“ I love Ady, he’s amazing… and yeah he’s a UK boy and that’s my dawg.”

Chance the Rapper

“Suleiman’s fluid voice, eye for drama and ear for a hook bodes well for his debut album.”

The Guardian



With early co-signs from Chance The Rapper and Joey Bada$$ (who featured on Ady’s ‘What’s The Score’ EP last year), 23 year old Ady Suleiman is set to emerge as one of the most unique artists in the UK. A deft songwriter and a singer with soulful brilliance and a rich era-spanning appreciation of music, Ady has developed a timelessly classic yet fresh sound which has been described as a “holy trifecta of R&B, hip-hop, and reggae” (The Fader) and garnered him influential fans from both sides of the Atlantic, including Frank Ocean, Little Simz and Labrinth.



After being discovered by BBC Introducing’s Dean Jackson (who also discovered Jake Bugg among others) and subsequently becoming the first (and last artist) to have a track go straight into the top 20 on Shazam off the back of one radio play, Ady supported Laura Mvula, Michael Kiwanuka, Professor Green and Lianne Le Havas on tour and won ‘Breakthrough Act of the Year’ award at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards before signing to Sony, via his own imprint Pemba Records.
