Caption by MoYah, a big honour to have documented this and see an amazing event filled with wonderful art and community:
"Behind the scenes at Sounds Like Courage at the Royal Festival Hall @royalfestivalhall
From soundcheck to backstage conversation, here’s a little glimpse behind the curtain at an unforgettable evening of music, storytelling and solidarity.
#refugeeweek
A huge thank you to @counterpointsarts for bringing together such an important and timely event, and to @anoushkashankarofficial for curating an evening that celebrated migration, culture and human connection with such care and intention.
It was an honour to perform at the iconic Royal Festival Hall at @southbankcentre alongside such an incredible group of artists and musicians, and to share both the stage and the spaces behind it with so many inspiring people.
A big shout out to fellow artists and performers including @anoushkashankarofficial, @naibarghoutiofficial @nadineshah @seckoukeitamusic @nectarwoode @nikita_gill @inuaellams @salena.godden and @lcorchestra It was a privilege to witness and share space with such a powerful collection of voices and stories.
A special thank you as well to the incredible musicians who joined me on stage and helped bring our set to life: @donjaga737 @walterfeeney and @kensaye Sharing this experience with you all was an absolute honour.
And finally, a massive thank you to my brother @inazproductions for capturing some of these moments behind the scenes and helping preserve the memories from such a special evening.
In times that can often feel divided, evenings like this remind us of the power of art to build bridges, create belonging and keep our shared humanity at the centre."
