Gate 65, Leicester · 2025

My rolePromotion · Booking · Artist liaison

Leicester has the audience for an artist like Rotimi. What it has rarely had is a promoter willing to put one in the room and a venue set up to hold the night.

Timaya Day

indigo at The O2, London

My roleProject Leadership · Production · Marketing · Artist Relations

Timaya Day marked twenty years of an Afrobeats and dancehall career with a sold-out headline show at indigo at The O2 in London. I led the project end to end: team build, campaign strategy, production, artist relations and show-day delivery. The night was built around two decades of Afrobeats and surprise guest appearances from Spyro, Yemi Alade, D'Banj and Liya.
