Yussef Dayes, Leon Thomas, Jorja Smith and more feature on Venna's debut album, MALIK

“Day x2 is a record based around just letting each day flow and allowing yourself to be open to lessons. Life can be challenging at times and sometimes it can be hard to allow ourselves to just be pillars of love but it’s important to learn from things and move on with love in our hearts. I made the record with agajon (producer), Marco Bernardis & MIKE. All 3 are people I respect highly and are artists I've made music with already,“ Venna explains.

MALIK features vocals from Jorja Smith, CARI, Leon Thomas, Smino, MIKE, and Venna, himself. The album also features musicians including Rocco Palladino, Elijah Fox, AoD, J Warner, Marco Bernardis and longtime collaborator, Yussef Dayes.

“The album MALIK was named by my mother 26 years before the album was made. A strong name that means King or leader in Arabic. A name that I’ve lived with all my life. A name that my nearest and dearest have called me & a name that I learnt to become. Throughout the whole process of the album - I’ve had another name that I loved but I felt like I wasn’t living in my undeniable truth & what better way to live in one’s truth than naming their debut album the name that their mother named them. I present my debut album MALIK.”
