Templar


Templar hails from East London and his selection of music today is dominated by nostalgic neo soul, with artists such as Maxwell, Rashaan Patterson, Eric Roberson, Eryka Badu, Omar, Eric Benet, Dwele, Peven Everett, Angela Johnson, Maysa, Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton & John Legend on heavy rotation. Undeterred by sticking to formulas, expect to be introduced to hidden jems by the under rated such as Don-e, Anthony David, 4 Hero, Kindred the Family Soul, Andriana Evans, Hil St Soul, Donnie, Lina and Kloud 9. Delving into the 70s and 80s is considered a must to pay homage to those that laid the foundations for today. Templar considers himself a music fan first and has promoted nights in East and North London for the last five years in the recent sold out N'dambi at the Jazz Cafe. Templar's shows are spontaeneous, relaxed, informative and thought provoking through music and that makes it a must for music lovers across the board.
