The versatile musician will embark on a tour for his new era starting this November. The artist WAYNE SNOW, originally from Nigeria but based in Brussels, has released his third album, ‘Snowdome’, under Curators. Building upon the groundwork established by the single ‘Fearless’, ‘Snowdome’ delves into the "tension between vulnerability and power, identity and imagination." The album features 10 tracks that fuse experimental soul, minimal pop, and unconventional electronics into a sound that is both personal and elevated. ‘Snowdome’ follows SNOW’s summer collaboration with the Amsterdam house duo ANOTR and 3DDY on ‘Hold On, Let Go’, which has received support from club and festival circuits by artists like Keinemusik, Jamie Jones, and Paul Woolford. This new album comes after SNOW's 2021 release ‘Figurine’ and his debut studio album ‘Freedom TV’, which was launched in 2017. SNOW will take ‘Snowdome’ to venues across Europe, Asia, and other regions this year, presenting a unique opportunity to experience the cinematic album live. He is set to perform at the Jazz Cafe on November 26th and at the Jam Jar in Bristol the following day. Additionally, the musician will appear alongside the legendary Jazzanova on select European and international dates.

      JayaHadADream from Nottingham won two awards and also performed at the event; other award recipients included London-based Art Against Knives and Rightkeysonly from Wales.

      Matt Griffiths, CEO of Youth Music, stated: “The Youth Music Awards serves as a powerful reminder of the creativity that emerges when young people are given the opportunity to express themselves. The artists and leaders we acknowledge tonight are helping shape the future of music from its foundation.”

      “In a time when grassroots projects are facing a significant funding crisis, it’s crucial to showcase their impact. The vibrant energy, talent, and ambition present here highlight the importance of these spaces.
