For our summer edition of Blue Jay Live, we're hosting an open jam, and at the same time bringing you a very special headline guest - MUKUZA!

Mukuza, a soulful artist from North London, delivers R&B-inspired grooves infused with jazz and poetic vulnerability. Idolising Michael Jackson as a child, he found solace in music during his teenage years, using it as therapy to navigate challenges. With performances at Islington Assembly Hall and features on BBC Radio 1, his 2019 EP, Pray First, Prey Later, captures a transformative journey from pain to hope. Known for uplifting messages and raw honesty, Mukuza creates a healing space for fans seeking motivation, positivity, and connection through art.

Supporting act Indy Newland is a 'genre-defying' upcoming hip-hop artist from Brixton, sharing his experiences as a trans man through music. Dealing with themes of love, resilience and authenticity, his style infuses classic Hiphop with vintage Soul, Jazz and RnB. His singing is styled upon the likes of Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse, while listing Tyler the Creator, Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar as his core rap influences.

We will also be hosting a talented lineup on house band that will be announced very soon - stay tuned.
