Future Bubblers

Allexa Nava at The Jazz Cafe

Future Bubblers is a development programme set up by Brownswood Recordings to back emerging artists who might otherwise struggle to attract industry attention, with much of its focus on performers based outside London. Participants receive tailored mentorship, workshops and master classes to shape their sound. The programme's first cohort, selected by Gilles Peterson, included Yazmin Lacey, who was unsigned at the time.

This evening features a selection of artists from the Future Bubblers 9.0 cohort. Allexa Nava, a Peruvian saxophonist and flautist, leads the bill, alongside trumpeter and singer Hana Amaya and gospel-rooted vocalist Faith Folorunso. Nottingham singer Vee Adu writes jazz and blues-tinged songs about love and loss, Newcastle producer Lovellious works with percussive broken beats, and India Shan offers softer, more personal soul.

The Jazz Cafe is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. The bill sits in the electronic genre, with performers ranging from instrumentalists and singers to a producer working from the decks.
