Ahnansé

Joining as guest artist on the night is Ahnansé. A dynamic force in the music scene, Ahnansé is a London born, Caribbean-rooted multi-instrumentalist, composer, conductor, producer and the founder behind Steam Down. His classical foundation, forged at Trinity College of Music, where he mastered jazz, contemporary and classical composition and orchestration, is the bedrock of his innovative approach.

Steam Down, the artist collective, weekly event and community he birthed in 2017, has rapidly captured London’s attention, culminating in two Jazz FM awards, including the prestigious Innovation Award and a feature in the New York Times. Beyond these accolades, Ahnansé’s music has resonated globally, appearing in FIFA 21, the acclaimed Paramount+ series Flat Share and the 2020 FIFA World Cup campaign.

His collaborations extend to work with the Colombian collective Mestizo, the band United Vibrations alongside Yussef Dayes, tours with long-standing collaborator Theon Cross and work with The National Youth Jazz Orchestra as one of their resident Musical Directors.
