August Alsina (23 Jan)

August Anthony Alsina Jr. is an American recording artist from New Orleans signed to Def Jam Recordings.

The R&B singer released his first album “Testimony” in 2014 and it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200.

The album featured hit singles I Luv This Shit, featuring Trinidad James, and No Love featuring Nicki Minaj. August came into fame after being named the best new artist at the BET awards.

In December 2015, Alsina released his second studio album, “This Thing Called Life.” It debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 41,000 copies in the United States. The album was supported by five singles; “Hip Hop”, “Why I Do It” (featuring Lil Wayne), “Song Cry”, “Been Around the World” (featuring Chris Brown) and “Dreamer”.

He brings his brash and uncompromising sound to London, so expect to hear tracks like No Love, Kissing My Tattoos, Ghetto and more. This show will sell out.
