It's time for our next exciting announcement on the line-up for 'Let Them Eat Cake' 🧁,  taking place on Friday 22nd November at The Underground,  Bradford.
Recently featured on BBC Introducing and fresh from the stage of St George's Hall where she performed for the launch of the Bradford 2025 Programme we have the fabulous ‘Afrobaby’ 😊

Afrobaby is a British/Nigerian artist based in Bradford, and draws on Electronic, Liquid DnB, Indie, and dark pop for her diverse sound. Inspired by her personal journey, she explores themes of grief and mental health, crafting music primarily in her bedroom on dark nights surrounded by ambient lighting and incense. Known for her introspective and soulful approach, Afrobaby intertwines personal narratives into her lyrics, encouraging healing, elevated vibrations, and vulnerable conversations among her audience.

We are really looking forward to this, get yourselves booked in now and bring a crew, it's going to be a great night 🥳
