futuretense: Eneeks + Olympia Vitalis
Tune in to two emerging performers taking on the big topics of our time, with powerful lyrics and storytelling, in our twice-monthly free concert series.
Olympia Vitalis is a West London-based soul singer, building her name through her unique vocal style and distinctive songwriting.
Having sung in a gospel choir for seven years, Olympia has developed her sound by drawing inspiration from improvisation and jazz vocal techniques. Her lyrics focus on subjects that are close to her heart, revolving around social, cultural and personal issues.
Often poking fun at the fact that she doesn’t write many love songs, Olympia prefers to talk about powerful issues, told using her distinctive vocals and multi-instrumental talents.
London-born rapper Eneeks creates a mix of UK hip-hop, jazz and new soul, relaying his stories of love, loss, redemption, relationships, street life and everyday living.
From his first live EP Dreammaker, Eneeks quickly gained attention from MTV and Giles Peterson’s BBC 6 radio show. The insightful rapper continues to make waves in the underground scene of London new soul hip-hop, using his music as a tool to share a story with his listeners.
