Venna

Get ready for an evening where jazz meets soul, R&B, hip-hop, bossa nova, and beyond as Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Venna brings his debut album MALIK to life on stage.

After two acclaimed EPs and years spent touring the world, Venna arrives at this new chapter with a sound shaped by movement, memory, collaboration, and curiosity. MALIK is not simply a jazz record—it’s an expansive musical world that refuses to stay in one lane. Drawing from his roots in jazz while embracing elements of soul, R&B, rap, soft rock, folk, and Brazilian-inspired rhythms, Venna creates music that feels both intimate and limitless.

Expect a performance that moves effortlessly between laid-back, atmospheric passages and moments charged with rhythm and energy. The warmth of Venna’s saxophone sits at the heart of the experience, surrounded by rich instrumentation, layered textures, vocals, and grooves that invite you to settle into the music—or get up and move with it. From the tranquil beauty of tracks like “Prophet” to the more spirited energy of “Twisting,” there’s room for both reflection and release.

MALIK features an extraordinary circle of collaborators, including Jorja Smith, Leon Thomas, Smino, MIKE, Cari, Yussef Dayes, Rocco Palladino, Elijah Fox, and others, reflecting Venna’s belief in music as a collective experience. On stage, that spirit translates into a show that feels less like a conventional performance and more like stepping inside Venna’s musical universe.

Whether you’re a longtime follower or discovering Venna for the first time, expect an atmosphere that is immersive, soulful, spontaneous, and deeply human—a place to get lost in the sound and perhaps find something of yourself along the way.
