Hyphen + Support From Dat Brass Soundsystem // Josh Tenor
ARTISTS PLAYING
Hyphen had an usual start in rap music – he worked in finance. Depressed and feeling a lack of purpose, Hyphen was looking for a way to express himself. His new found love of rap music helped deal with depression and found a new sense of purpose. He is now a BBC Futuresounds artists for 2020 and cosigned by Yungblud, Saweetie and Jay Sean.
His Yungblud and Jay Sean cosign were both on verses he wrote on his experience of racism and the lack of British Asian representation in music, a topic he is passionate about.
He also uses his music to spread a positive impact, speaking to schools across the UK on his experiences of being suicidal himself and eventually finding optimism. He is also a mental health representative for Formula-E.
Having been tipped as ‘The Future of British Asian Hip-Hop’ by BBC Asian Network featured in the Evening Standard and playing Reading & Leeds festival Hyphen’s song View From The Middle, was featured on BBC Radio 1 Chillest. His latest song ‘Cocoa Butter’ was featured on New Music Friday, as well as a number of other Spotify Editorials.
+ Support From
Dat Brass Soundsyste
dB soundsystem are a distillation of the sonic influences of dat Brass, led by IDA UK champion DJ Dubba Dutch. The 5 piece outfit blends old school cuts with bottom of the crate finds, and showcasrs the fearless improvisation audiences have come to expect from dB’s brass players. Dub, funk, hip hop, and jazz all make an appearance in a set that spans decades both backwards and forwards in time.
Inspired by the sound of The Soulquarians’ hip-hop and neo soul, as well as jazz icons like Robert Glasper, Josh Tenor presents an neo jazz-soul sound as a singer, songwriter and producer, being apart of London’s ever growing jazz-influenced scene.
Growing up in a family of 6 in South Hackney, Josh always had a love for music – singing in church from an early age. By 11, he learned how to play the piano and 7 more instruments thereafter, playing as a pianist and a trombonist in his local youth jazz ensemble. Being introduced to artists like D’Angelo and Tom Misch he began his journey creating a type of music with soul and meaning – transcribing his experiences from diary entries to songs
