2econd Class Citizen

Brighton, United Kingdom

2econd Class Citizen makes folk music for the digital age. Sometimes psychedelic, often complex and always moving, his sound is hard to define but easy to fall in love with. With a series of critically acclaimed releases garnering praise from luminaries such as Ninja Tune legend DJ Food (who went so far as to invite him to collaborate on a track for his own album), 2econd Class Citizen’s music has long been astounding listeners in all corners of the globe.

Cementing the affection of his loyal following through frequent European Tours, remixes production for artists such as The Herbaliser, Dj Food, Dday One, Myka 9 (Freestyle Fellowship), Bobbie Watson (Comus) and Graciellita. His music has been released on various labels including Equinox Records, Content (L)abel, and Sketch to name a few.

In his live sets 2econd Class Citizen recreates the complexity and depth of orchestration he has become known for, using sound editing software, live drumming and scratching to keep a strong improvisational aspect, and often embellishing performances with the introduction of guest musicians and vocalists. In addition to European tours with the likes of Ceschi, Glen Porter & Buddy Peace he has performed at festivals including Glastonbury and Soundwave (Croatia), sharing stages with the likes of Hidden Orchestra, Buck 65, B Dolan, Dj Food, Loka, Dosh, The Q4, Gong and many more.
