Michael Ekow & May

Alternative hip-hop artist Michael Ekow is sonically paving his path between Indie, Trap and RnB & moving alongside the spaces of culture and art. Of Ghanaian descent Michael Ekow has spent his life moving around, England, Germany and now the Netherlands. A wordsmith zealous to capture feeling in records and poetic expressions that vividly paint moments as well as dissecting existential crisis’, Michael Ekow has been inspired by the likes of Rod Stewart, Florence and the Machine, Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean.

His collaboration with producer & guitarist Marijn Smeehuijzen brought “You Don’t Know What’s Going On, Talk To Me Nice!” EP into fruition, blending English punk inspired vocals, hip hops’ poetic storytelling and RnB/pop fused melodies. Marijn Smeehuijzen establishes the world in which these tales live, providing an encapsulating ambience.

Through their European performances across Paris, London, Berlin and Amsterdam, they introduce multidisciplinary events in anticipation for the EP’s release.

Michael Ekow & May

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.
