Poté builds worlds that are raw and expansive. His music treads between the rhythmic sound of his heritage and his interest in exploratory, emotive songwriting.
Born in St Lucia he later moved to London where he made his first steps into music “At that stage, I was entering a rediscovery of my culture, and my background,” he says. “I wanted to draw on that percussion of the Caribbean, and try to unite that with the reason I started writing music: as a valve for my emotions.”
He garnered support from Annie Mac, MistaJam, Phil Taggart and Nina Las Vegas as well as Benji B who signed Poté to his Deviation label, releasing “Spiral, My Love”, in 2018. He became bolder in using his own vocals, working with Kojey Radical, Chelou and Alxndr London.
In 2020 he launched the Versicolor label and club night, where he released the “Rose” and “Rose II” EPs, premiered on influential Youtube platform Colors Berlin. They were supported by TEED, Pierre Kwenders, Jamz Supernova, Laurent Garnier, and Toddla T, amongst others.
Now poised to release his new album “A Tenuous Tale of Her”, two influential connections have helped to shape the record, first Bonobo, who signed the record as the debut album on his OUTLIER label. Second, Damon Albarn, who features on album track ‘Young Lies’ and Pierre Kwenders.
Poté wrote the atmospheric, nuanced album with a theatrical play in mind. It’s the latest chapter in his journey to find new and bolder ways to express himself.
