On this episode of calm and collected, I invite my good friend Haruna to share some of his favourite songs and also his own productions. Calm and Collected is a show that goes beyond just playing music — it will be a journey of discovery, connection, and self-expression. Each episode will feature fresh and unexpected sounds from across the globe, offering my audience a curated experience of music that challenges us to step outside our comfort zones. But this isn’t just about music; it’s about exploring the stories, cultures, and people behind the sounds. Through meaningful conversations with guests and engagement with the audience, we’ll dive into the origins and cultural context of the music, uncovering the emotional resonance and significance it holds.

With Guest: Based in London, Haruna is a multifaceted creative with focus in music production, DJing, and modelling. His style stems from his Nigerian and Ugandan roots, and has played & headlined in a number of clubs around Europe and radio stations such as Rinse, NTS & Balamii.
