He represents the quiet force of English rap. With his laid-back flow, jazz samples and sensitive lyrics, Loyle Carner is one of the great architects of this much talked about London groove. This vibrant scene of hip-hop, jazz and R&B can be found in the cast of his latest album Not Waving, But Drowning, featuring Jordan Rakei, Jorja Smith and his long-time friend Tom Misch. Loyle Carner shared the stage with Misch for an unforgettable concert at the Montreux Jazz Lab in 2019. It was a great moment for the audience and for himself: in front of his mother, who was present for the occasion, he declared that playing at the Festival was one of his greatest dreams come true. Three years later, the dream repeats itself at Montreux!
