Daudi Matsiko

***Nottingham-based British-Ugandan singer-songwriter Daudi Matsiko returns to Kings Place to present his new EP, ‘Dead Bird Dream’ – a collection of deeply felt modern folk songs, telling a story of heartache, diaspora, and self-acceptance at a time when belonging and British identity feels as though in constant jeopardy. With live performances described as deeply moving and life affirming in equal measure, Matsiko is not to be missed.***

Following on from beautiful collaborations with GoGo Penguin and Werkha, **Daudi Matsiko** continues to find hope in vulnerability. His debut album, *The King Of Misery*, was a hauntingly beautiful exploration of depression, bipolar disorder, and finding hope in that experience.

After a standing ovation at The Great Escape Festival, and with support from POWER UP, PRS Foundation, and Albert’s Favourites, Matsiko set up his own label, Really Good, to release his debut. Since its release, *The King Of Misery* has received 4 stars in *Mojo Magazine* and *Far Out Magazine*, has been featured on several Spotify editorial playlists, been a headline feature on Bandcamp Weekly, and continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Matsiko also delivered an unforgettable performance and insightful interview on episode 215 of The Adam Buxton Podcast and gave a mesmerising live session at BBC Maida Vale for Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 Music.
