Theon Cross is one of those rare musicians whose vision has redefined their instrument. The creative power and originality of Theon’s playing has reinvented the tuba’s place in modern music. Exploring the tuba’s possibilities in the light of diasporic bass culture, Theon has worked to develop the full sonic spectrum of his instrument, transforming it into a total 21st century sound-system, powered by breath. Theon released his first EP Aspirations in 2015 followed by his first album FYAH in 2019 and the Intra-I in 2021. He was a key member of Sons of Kemet until their dissolution in 2022. He has featured on albums by The Smile, Little Simz, Steamdown, Makaya McCraven, Joy Crookes, and Ill Considered to name a few.
Also performing will be the captivating neo-soul singer-songwriter Hillarynx, celebrated for her powerful live performances. Expect a DJ set courtesy of Drezone, a dynamic multi-instrumentalist known for his work with Prince Party UK. Returning to Brockley Max are Arch 57, The Palindrones, Phoenix Outliers, Mr. Strutt and rising talent Jez Kemp to showcase the festival’s signature mix of emerging and established artists.
