Next up for our SUMsessions is Holden; An artist born in Cheshire, now based in London, seamlessly blends spoken word, hip-hop, and folk to create captivating narratives. Debuting with “My Friend,” their music defies genres, weaving urban lyricism with rustic melodies. This artist’s unique fusion promises an exciting exploration of sound and storytelling.

For the next few sessions we’ve have teamed up with the amazing live music promotion Indigo Blue, a collective which gives independent artists the platform they deserve. We’re also hosting an all-night event at the famous Moth Club featuring the artists recorded at the sessions (deets below), make sure to cop a ticket!
