About this Event
Coming home to where it all began five years ago. The British-Nigerian singer songwriter EyiTemi returns to Twickenham for an intimate homecoming performance at the beautiful Colne Road Studios, surrounded by the community that nurtured her artistic journey.
Known for her genre-bending sound encompassing soul, jazz, afro, folk, gospel and spoken word, Eyitemi’s music is personal, self written and rich with intention 'I feel I have a voice in my piece of earth and my ambition is to express this honestly through my music'.
With her heart rooted in Jazz, 2x BBC Jazz Awards innovation panel judge EyiTemi, walks a path that is comfortably and firmly, her own. This intimate gig concludes a special three part series that focuses on the exploration of her Afro roots.
You’ll hear unreleased music and re-imagined tracks spanning three albums including the well-received latest single, Fighter (recently featured on Jazz FM's late track of the week)
“I fell in love immediately” China Moses - Jazz FM
In this unique setting situated within a creative working studio, with only 25 seats available, experience EyiTemi's music in its most vulnerable form through stripped-back arrangements and authentic raw storytelling.
"The existence of mavericks such as EyiTemi is a welcome spanner in the far from perfect works"– Kevin Le Gendre
