Those on the lookout for sensational young artists are well advised to see Ady Suleiman perform. Famous fellow musicians like Leon Bridges and Michael Kiwanuka praise the Tanzanian-British vocalist (26) for his soul sound that is at the same time classic and fresh. Suleiman sings songs that spark audiences to dance, but the tall singer also dares to be vulnerable and expose his emotions and problems. All this honesty is reflected in his music, on the beautiful album Memories, for example. Suleiman’s greatest strengths are his high voice and wonderful feel for timing. Sometimes he sings, sometimes he raps - this versatile musician can do both. His songs sound as if he wants to embrace his listeners and tell them everything will be all right. And we believe him straightaway.
