Yussef Dayes

**The South London-raised producer, composer and drummer brings emotion, intensity and rhythmic, spiritual energy to his electrifying live performances.**

The Brit Award-nominated artist Yussef Dayes is a tour de force behind the drums who brings an exhilarating combination of technical prowess and deep feeling.

Dayes’ Ivor Novello-winning debut solo studio album, Black Classical Music, propelled him into the musical spotlight. The record featured on multiple 2023 ‘best of the year’ lists from the likes of Spotify, NPR Music, Rough Trade, BBC Radio 6 Music, the Boston Globe, PopMatters and AllMusic.

Just a quick glance at the collaborators on the album serves as a clear testament to Dayes’ work: Masego, Chronixx, Jamilah Barry and Tom Misch all feature, to name a few.

Dayes’ sold-out tours have taken his music across the UK and around the world. Online, his popularity is clear – he became the first-ever solo drummer to headline a viral A Colors Show performance, amassing over 3.2 million views in three weeks.
