SAT 16th JUL 10pm | Soundi Stage
Hassan Maikal, the emerging r’n’b singer from Helsinki, is one extraordinary artist. He has a compelling ability to sing about difficult topics with such lightness it’s hard not to pay attention to the good inside the dark or murky. The singer knows how to be vulnerable without getting sensitised.
Hassan Maikal released his debut album in May 2021 and instantly made waves with the release. The ambitious production, Maikal’s distinctive vocals and perceptive lyrics were something that was missing from the Finnish music scene. His energy and sound could be compared to the ambient feel of The Weeknd’s or Frank Ocean’s music.
