About
I’m Folasade. I write about the towpath, the night bus and the walk home.
I grew up on an estate near the canal in Nottingham, with a radio on in every room. I started rapping at open mics, wrote the first verses of my own in a battered notebook, and have released a single every few months since 2023.
I write in the notebook first, record in a small booth and play clubs and festivals. I also work with brands and press as a public voice for emerging artists.

Notes from the notebook
What I am writing, a rough demo of a verse that is not finished yet, and new show dates a day before anyone else.
