Jordan Mackampa | Zeitlose Stimme trifft souligen Sound

In the organizer's words:

The Coventry-raised, London-based singer is the perfect combination of his Congolese roots, life in the Midlands and the urban hustle and bustle of the British capital. His soul-soaked, deeply personal tracks swim in the sounds and stories of the cities he has lived in over the years. Inspired by his mother's love of the great soul singers like Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield, Jordan combines his timeless voice with catchy melodies and soulful lyrics to create a soulful sound that enchants and uplifts in equal measure.

He draws from this in his very personal songs, telling stories about all the places he's been. The sounds and tones, the rhythms and arrangements also draw their strength from the diversity of Mackampa's influences and, of course, from the music he grew up with. From this he has developed a classic songwriting that he fills with incredible life thanks to his warm and soulful voice. Mackampa is, to sum it up in short words, Britain's young soul singer of the moment.
