You may have seen me behind the NPR Tiny Desk performing behind several artists such as Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Tom Misch, Phony Ppl, Amaarae and my own Tiny Desk at Home Concert during the pandemic. But this past year I was fortunate to get the opportunity to bring my band to Tiny Desk!!!! We taped our set on Halloween October 31, 2024 right between my Asia Tour and European Tour supporting my new EP. The person responsible for booking us, is my good friend at NPR Ashley Pointer. I first met Ashley during one of my performances at Berklee College of music in 2019 when she was just a music student. We stayed in touch for years and eventually when she got the gig at NPR she reached out about booking us and everything aligned!
