Bio

British musician Michael Kiwanuka first came into the public consciousness with his acclaimed debut album, Home Again. A talented, unassuming young man of Ugandan heritage and honeyed voice, Michael stood out for making the most emotionally engaging contemporary soul music of recent years, earning him a coveted BRIT award.

His next album took a bold creative turn, the Love & Hate LP was produced alongside Danger Mouse and flew to number 1 in the UK, with its otherworldly soundscapes sounding both singular and sprawling, an opus by anyone’s definition.

Love & Hate acted as a blueprint for 2019’s KIWANUKA, Michael’s third and most definitive release to date, with Danger Mouse and British producer Inflo back behind the glass. A complex but deeply listenable and expansive expression of self-worth, KIWANUKA reaped Michael the distinguished Mercury Prize in 2020, his fourth and fifth BRIT nominations (British Male Solo Artist and British Album), and his first Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Album.

Michael’s been keeping himself in good company as a regular contributor and confidante of the acclaimed SAULT collective, both on and off stage. Ahead of new album release Small Changes, Summer 2024 welcomed him back to festival stages, where he excels, headlining The Piece Hall, Wilderness, Down The Rabbit Hole and playing the iconic Pyramid stage at Glastonbury amidst a full European festival run. An artist in the truest, purest sense.”
