Leeds: The Journey EP Listening Session

Join us for a sonic pilgrimage as we celebrate the debut of Leeds Music's solo EP, "The Journey (Live)." This is not merely a listening session; it is a curated experience designed to immerse you in a world of sound. Leeds, a masterful keyboardist and producer, has crafted a compelling fusion of R&B, electronica, jazz, and hip-hop, creating compositions that are both intricate and deeply soulful. His work pushes boundaries while honoring musical traditions, striking a balance that defines a new voice in contemporary music.

The journey continues with a carefully selected cast of collaborators who amplify the EP's vision. We are honored to be joined by the genre-defying R&B artist Mikaela Fay, a "post-genre" artist whose work draws on the rigor of a jazz degree and is informed by R&B and hip-hop. She will enrich the EP's warm grooves with her versatile fusion of "soul and contemporary alternative sounds". The event will also feature the poetic pulse of Nomashenge, a gifted poet-vocalist whose introspective work gives a tangible form to the EP's reflective spirit. She is known for a blend of poetry and vocals that "resonates with and transcends genre, space and era".

Curating the atmospheric soundscapes will be the neo-soul, bossa architect DJ Bnny, whose selections will create a deep, groove-oriented backdrop. Meanwhile, the contemporary jazz DJ St Winston, will take us on a journey through the timeless and avant-garde, blending "classic jazz with contemporary influences". Together, these artists form a collective that transforms the listening session into a multi-disciplinary, multi-sensory experience.

This exclusive event unfolds at the Bond Society Bar, a creative oasis nestled in the heart of Victoria Yards. This urban sanctuary, is a "pulsing rhythm of downtown Joburg" and a "lively and welcoming" space with art galleries and a market, provides the perfect backdrop for our sonic voyage. With a vibrant atmosphere, you are invited to make new friends, share in a special moment, and celebrate a landmark debut.

Don't miss this opportunity to embark on a journey that will leave you eager for what sonic landscapes Leeds will explore next. Limited tickets are available for this intimate afternoon.
