Kaidi Akinnibi + China Bowls

The virtuoso saxophonist has collaborated with the likes of Tom Misch. Discover his own unique compositions as he performs a full band show, outdoors at the beautiful Curve Garden.

A young artist hailing from London England, Kaidi’s sound is influenced by the many sounds new and old to come out of its vibrant music scene. Growing up in South London and learning from the Kinetika Bloco and Jazz Warriors families, Kaidi’s outlook on music has always been multi faceted, which can be seen in the various styles of the artists he writes with - the likes of Tom Misch, Black Midi, Blue Lab Beats, Celeste, Wizkid and DoomCannon amongst them.

His own music, more vocal orientated, takes from Shoegaze rock and electronic production sounds amongst his other influences in Jazz and Classical music to create soundscapes reminiscent of a movie soundtrack.
