TINCHY STRIDES INTO PRESTON
Chart topping Star in the Hood Tinchy Stryder, will embarking on his first headline nationwide tour, performing at 53 Degrees on 7th October.
21-year-old Stryder (real name Kwasi Danquah) is a British grime music artist hailing from Bow in East London and recently had his first number one in the UK Singles Chart with the aptly named song ‘Number 1’, (a collaboration with N-Dubz who will also be appearing at the venue in October).
"It's just sinking in - it's mad. It's a great feeling," Stryder told BBC Radio One on hearing the news.
Not only a first for the artists involved, this is also the first time a single with ‘Number 1’ in the title has reached the top spot.
Support for the show is Mobo-winning Chipmunk who is currently Number 3 in the UK music charts with ‘Tiny Dancer (Hold Me Closer)’ (feat. Ironik & Elton John). Chipmunk has previously featured on Tinchy Stryder track ‘Sorry, U Are? And N-Dubz track ‘Defeat You’.
Tinchy Stryder is now gearing up for the release of his forthcoming album ‘Catch 22’, due out July 27th on Island Records.
October at 53 Degrees is shaping up to be a month of urban and grime with the venue also hosting shows from N-Dubz on the 16th, Dizzee Rascal on the 31st, plus indie-dance from Calvin Harris on the 20th.
