Collective Sessions
ADENiCO refers to my individual artistry although my journey and skills as an events organiser have seen me working with DJs, musicians, photographers, graphic designers, and other creators of art such as poets and authors for example.
As an independent artist, I’ve headlined and supported shows all across the UK. I write all of my own material and have developed my sound to be translatable to a full band sound, stripped-back or acoustic. I have achieved some amazing goals, such as headlining a sold out show at Headrow House in Leeds in spring of 2023, as well as performing at Huddersfield On Tour’s ‘Spectrum’ event at the LBT Courtyard in May of 2025.
COLLECTIVE SESSIONS is a community initiative I ran between 2016 and 2019 that was aimed at propelling artists forward in their careers by providing performance and networking based opportunities and naturally this meant working closely with the music venues in Huddersfield. Over the years this progressed to a YouTube Channel and sub-genres such as a Soul Sessions Podcast and break-off events such as LOUNGE AROUND.
This monthly residency was an addition to Small Seeds live music scene and welcomed hand picked northern artists to their stage. Taking place the last Sunday of every month for over two years (2016-18), this plethora of creative expression had a running theme of togetherness and welcoming and hosted full bands, acoustic acts, rap and spoken word artists/poets.
This event was a collaboration between COLLECTIVE SESSIONS and INFINITE VIBRATIONS (a record label set up by two students studying music related courses at Huddersfield University). The event was a showcase of the compilation album we had collaborated on through that year.

ORCA BLUE Five piece band (2019-20)
I then went on to be a part of Orca Blue over the next year where we wrote an eclectic mix of music and played across Huddersfield’s stages and festivals. Although the lifespan of this band was short lived, I was honoured to be able to play across venues like (old) Parish, Northern Quarter, Small Seeds and more as the band’s front man. We built quite a following in that time but ultimately weren’t equipped to survive the global pandemic as a unit.
