"Having spaces where kids can go to (to play music) builds the people, it builds a social connection.""

Genre-bending, Afro-Irish singer-songwriter Tolü Makay shares her admiration for Belfast as a musical city and why she believes its rich and nurturing sense of community gives young musicians a unique opportunity to thrive.

About Tolü Makay
Originally from Nigeria and raised in the Irish midlands, Tolü Makay has used her music as a medium to speak the truth, from singing in a gospel choir as a teenager to working with songwriter and producer Enda Gallery on her debut EP release 'Being'. A seasoned vocalist possessing classic soul influences from the likes of Erykah Badu, Nina Simone and the Nigerian/French singer/songwriter Asa, Tolü’s trajectory has seemed destined for the stars since the release of her debut single ‘Goodbye’ in 2018.
