Skye Newman - The Woman I Am Tour

On 26 April 2026, Skye Newman brings her The Woman I Am Tour to the Kantine Kulturbetrieb in Cologne. The British writer and singer moves between rap, soul and pop, grounded in Southeast London, where many of her stories begin. Raised amid frequent moves and a tight budget, she writes directly and often introspectively about everyday life, social precarity and perspectives that are otherwise rarely heard. An aunt, herself a jazz and blues singer, early on opened the door to studios and songwriting; influences from Amy Winehouse, Adele, Bob Marley and Eminem are evident without dictating her direction. Live, Skye shifts between soulful melodies, rap-inflected phrasing and clear choruses, making technique secondary while bringing lyrics and nuance to the fore. Supported by a close circle of musician friends, she will present in Cologne songs in which identity and self-image resonate—aptly matching the tour title—and blend her own voice with the experiences of those around her.
