Début: Steven Bamidele

New artists, emerging talent, diverse voices and brilliant musicians: Début is our monthly evening devoted to spotlighting some of the best original music around, across a host of genres encompassing jazz, funk, soul, folk and pop (as well as everything in between). Our art deco basement, known for its brilliant acoustics and intimate atmosphere, is proud to showcase fine talents at affordable ticket prices – perfect for a great night out in the West End.

London-based musician, songwriter, producer and vocalist Steven Bamidele brings his full band to Crazy Coqs, crafting his own unique and intricate sound, combining synth textures, syncopated beats and reverb-drenched falsetto to create psychedelic forward-thinking soul.

Steven will be performing all original material from his debut LP ‘Summing Up’ (released on Tru Thoughts), and his EP ‘Uncrowded’, alongside a few familiar covers.

“An introspective neo-soul masterpiece” – FIP
“Electronic Soul At Its Finest” – Clash Magazine
“Extremely talented. Gorgeously soulful” – Tony Minvielle (Jazz FM)
“Unbelievable talent” – BBC Introducing
