LIYA

2026 · Recording artist, Nigeria · August to September, UK tour and London listening party

A first UK headline show, and the relationships to build on it.

The brief was to grow a UK fanbase and build relationships that outlast the tour. I produced the listening party that became her first UK headline show, then agented and road-managed the run around it.

  • Booking agent
  • Road manager
  • Event producer
  • Radio plugging

What I led

  • Organised her London listening party, an invited room of industry and fans, and her first UK headline show.
  • Acted as booking agent across the August to September UK tour.
  • Road managed the run, logistics, schedule and day-to-day delivery.
  • Secured shows alongside Nasty C, Shallipopi, Wande Coal and Timaya.
  • Plugged her music to UK radio through the campaign.
