Joshua Idehen

In the organizer's words:

The Stockholm-based British-Nigerian spoken word artist and musician Joshua Idehen turns his shows into parties. Parties that are reminiscent of a kind of non-religious mass. They make you think, while at the same time you dance your thoughts away.

Joshua's explosive creativity and poignant voice have made him a fixture on the British jazz scene (including collaborations with The Comet Is Coming & Sons Of Kemet & LA Maestro Daedelus).

His exuberant live performances have rocked clubs and festival stages around the world, including Studio Barnhus parties and Boiler Room streams. Together with producer and instrumentalist Ludvig Parment, Joshua fuses poetry with modern club sounds in a natural, free-flowing way, resulting in some of the most poignant new music of recent times.

Tours as a duo have taken him all over Europe as support & headline act (e.g. London Jazz Fest, MENT Festival Slovenia, Lotd Fest Rotterdam, Malmo Festival, several UK tours,...). Backing band & backing singers are ready for the next step. Joshua Idehen is an artist who brings joy, makes you shine and from whom you will hear a lot more in the future.
