Multi- hyphenate icon in the making, Alewya, one of the UK’s most exciting, rising stars has just announced details of a UK and EU tour which includes her biggest headline show to date at London’s Scala. She invites you to “come feel something.” After twisting the genre into new shapes on Little Simz‘ EP and supporting the Mercury winner on tour, Alewya’s upcoming solo tour places her centre stage where she belongs, blending pulsating kinetic rhythms with fierce muti textured vocals.
News of her hotly anticipated tour follows on from the release of her powerful single ‘Let Go’ as well as the anthemic Panther in Mode EP, which cemented her as a captivating singular voice whose originality is boundless. Watch ‘Let Go’ here:
Alewya is the mononym of a multi-talented artist whose prolific talents stretch well beyond the boundaries of the traditional singer-songwriter. She is also a producer, musician, illustrator and sculptor, building on the DIY roots of her creative process, making her the empowered and independent performer that she is today.
As a Londoner with Egyptian and Ethiopian heritage, she pays homage to her ancestral lands as well as the city that shaped her through her music with heady African beats intertwining with the futuristic electronics of London’s clubbing subcultures. Spiritual energy courses through everything she makes with unification drive and purpose.
Alewya’s impressive discography to date also includes singles “Ethiopia” (produced by mentor and renowned UK producer and DJ Shy FX), “Sweating” and “Jagna”.
As well as collaborating with this year’s Mercury Prize winner Little Simz, she has also collaborated with 2020’s Mercury Winner Moses Boyd . Watch “The Code” here:
Alewya was handpicked by Grace Jones for the Meltdown festival and has also performed on COLORS, recreating the beloved track, ‘Ethiopia.’ She has already been tipped as a DAZED 100 and well as “This decade’s triple threat” by LOVE magazine. Alewya’s influence has already reached a global level so this tour is not to be missed. Get tickets while you can. Pre-sale tickets here
