Brooke Combe @ O2 Academy Brixton in Brixton

About the artist

No matter what sub-genre our current crop of musicologists may cite in the very near future to describe Jalen Ngonda's riveting approach, he's unequivocally a gifted songwriter and artist, blending classic and contemporary soul influences to create a sound that's all his own. Signed to Daptone Records a funk and soul independent record label based in Brooklyn, New York and the perfect home for him, Jalen possesses a rich, nuanced voice that sets him miles apart from the crowd. His music is as fresh and contemporary as anyone’s gracing today’s scene. . Music that may instil a nostalgia for the golden era of soul but from a very special artist that is very much of his time, a real once in a generation experience.
