Folklore Sessions Presents; Stefan Mahendra + Support June 18th | The Folklore Rooms £14adv | 18+ Mahendra's musical journey began at a piano bench in SouthLondon, guided by his mother's encouragement and early classical training. But it wasn't long before he veered off the traditional path - drawn deeply into the world of jazz, soul, andR&B. His early discovery of American gospel greats like Smokie Norful -artists who weren't just masterful pianists but also powerful vocalists - inspired a deeper passion for both playing and singing. That influence led him to icons like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, and D'Angelo: legends who built their songs from the keys up, crafting entire sonic worlds from the piano. It's this lineage that flows through Stefan's music - soulful, grounded, and effortlessly timeless. Stefan Mahendra has sold out every headline show he has put onto date.
