Ray BLK announced as support act for Emeli Sandé

The street-smart soul singer has been added for three March dates during the Long Live the Angels tour.

Born in Nigeria and raised in South London, Ray BLK (real name Rita Ekwere) has been making music since she was a girl. She released the debut EP Havisham in 2015 and followed that up in 2016 with the debut mini album Durt featuring collaborations with Stormzy, Wretch 32 and SG Lewis.

In January the now 23-year-old BLK topped BBC’s Sound of 2017 list which tries to predict the hottest new musicians for the year ahead.
