Daudi Matsiko
Nottingham-based British-Ugandan singer-songwriter Daudi Matsiko carefully crafts modern yet reverent folk. His deft, melancholy picking reminiscent of Nick Drake is tempered by contemporary percussion and instrumentation. Matsiko's vocals derive their power from their apparent vulnerability. With each song, his confessed lyrics cut to the marrow.
After releasing two independent EPs, 'A Brief Introduction to Failure' (2014) and 'The Lingering Effects of Disconnection' (2015), he toured with GoGo Penguin, Keaton Henson and Portico Quartet and participated in the Red Bull Music Academy in Montreal 2016. In 2023, he released the single "Fool Me As Many Times As You Like," which was supported by Gilles Peterson on Worldwide FM and BBC 6 Music and by Lauren Laverne. The song was included in several Spotify playlists, including The Most Beautiful Songs in the World, The Other list, The Listening Post and Fresh Finds.
After receiving a standing ovation at the latest edition of The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, Matsiko's highly anticipated debut album is expected in early 2024.
