Discovered in 2021 by the founders of Good Soldier Records via a video he filmed singing in a car park and now releasing music via Island Records, 18-year-old Sekou Sylla is already one of the most anticipated debuts of the year.

When he was first discovered with stellar single ‘Better Man’, there was unsurprisingly a pressure to jumpstart his career straight away. His rich, bass-filled vocal is one of the most unique to emerge in recent years, and it stuns with raw power and emotion over the striking yet stripped back piano arrangements.
