Tolü Makay is celebrated for her dynamic fusion of alternative pop and soul, delivering empowering anthems of self-discovery and growth. Known for creating unforgettable, immersive experiences, she captivates audiences with her elaborate outfits and emotionally charged storytelling.

Graham Norton said it moved him to tears while Dara Ó Briain, Chris O'Dowd and embassies and cultural organizations worldwide have greatly praised the performance.
