Soweto Kinch
Soweto Kinch is an award-winning alto saxophonist, MC and composer whose work moves fluidly between jazz, hip hop and spoken word. One of the UK’s most distinctive musical voices, he brings together virtuosic improvisation with sharp lyricism and a deep engagement with history, politics and place.
Equally at home on major stages and in community-led spaces, Kinch’s practice extends beyond performance into curation, mentorship and large-scale cultural projects. His work has spanned albums, theatre scores, festivals and broadcast collaborations, consistently exploring how music can reshape narratives, reclaim space and amplify unheard voices.
Whether leading stripped-back ensembles or expansive interdisciplinary projects, Soweto Kinch’s live work is charged with urgency, intellect and rhythm — a meeting point of sound, story and social imagination.
