South London based ‘The Escape’ is exactly what his name suggests - bringing you into his world and taking you out of yours. Defying the boundaries of stereotypical genres, The Escape has been making music for over 15 years - weaving poetic lyricism into a fusion of cherry-picked sounds as diverse as Jazz, Hip Hop, RnB and Rock.

Channeling influence from an eclectic range of artists, from Frank Ocean and James Blake, to The Weekend, Miguel and Sonder, The Escape is ‘kinda just doing [his] own thing’. Boasting huge jazzy synths, heavy hip hop beats, and choppy hypnotic vocals - you can often find him in his living room studio, cooking up modern day anthems, spilling his own truths and amplifying voices hushed in today’s world.

If you need an escape - lose yourself here, find yourself wherever you end up.
