British-Ugandan singer-songwriter Daudi Matsiko’s debut album, ‘The King Of Misery,’ is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of depression, bipolar disorder, and finding hope in that experience. His fragile yet powerful vocals, evocative lyrics, and modern folk melodies have earned high praise from Gilles Peterson, Lauren Laverne, Jamz Supernova, Dean Jackson, Sian Eleri, Jamie Cullum, Tom Robinson, John Kennedy, Simon Phillips, and comedian and podcaster Adam Buxton.

After a standing ovation at The Great Escape Festival, and with support from POWER UP, PRS Foundation, and Alberts Favourites, Matsiko set up his own label, ‘Really Good,’ to release his debut. Since its release, ‘The King Of Misery’ has received 4 stars in MOJO Magazine and Far Out Magazine, has been featured on several Spotify editorial playlists, been a headline feature on Bandcamp Weekly, and continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Matsiko also delivered an unforgettable performance and insightful interview on episode 215 of The Adam Buxton Podcast and gave a mesmerising live session at BBC Maida Vale for Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 Music.

With every performance life affirming and memorable in equal measure, Matsiko is not to be missed live.
