Femi Koleoso
Ezra Collective's drummer and bandleader — the engine of London's jazz resurgence, bringing gospel-hall energy to every kit he touches.
Femi Koleoso is a drummer and bandleader from London, best known as the founder and driving force behind Ezra Collective. His playing draws on Afrobeat, highlife, jazz, hip-hop and grime, and he is a visible spokesman for the wave of young London musicians who came through youth music programmes such as Tomorrow's Warriors. He has also played with other artists on the London scene, and his approach as a bandleader emphasises audience interaction and the communal, dance-oriented side of jazz rather than its more formal traditions.
