About Lower Ground

Lower Ground is a bold, genre-blending London band fusing gospel, rap, jazz & soul—electrifying live shows, fearless sound, rising UK stars.
Cover band
London

Lower Ground is more than just a band — we’re a collective of multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and producers driven by a shared passion for pushing musical boundaries and telling authentic stories. Each of us brings a unique musical background rooted in diverse Black British experiences, with heritage stretching across Africa and early influences found in church choirs, jazz ensembles, underground rap cyphers, and musical theatre stages. Our music is deeply personal, yet undeniably universal — a fearless fusion of soulful grooves, sharp lyricism, rich harmonies, and boundary-breaking production. What makes our act incredible is the way we refuse to sit in one lane. We're not interested in fitting into pre-made boxes or replicating what's been done before. Instead, we make music that reflects who we are — layered, evolving, and genre-fluid. From slow, emotive ballads to high-energy rap-infused anthems, our sound is intentionally diverse. We treat genre like a palette, not a limitation. That freedom allows us to continually surprise our audience and ourselves. Whether we’re experimenting in the studio or improvising mid-set on stage, we’re always exploring new sonic territory. Our journey as musicians started early. Most of us found our love for music through the church, where discipline, collaboration, and soul were non-negotiable. That foundation taught us how to connect with an audience from a place of sincerity and conviction. From there, we trained in various settings — from formal music education to grassroots mentorship, jam sessions to open mics. Each member is a technically skilled performer, but also a self-driven learner. We've taught ourselves how to record, produce, and write music that stands up both sonically and emotionally. As performers, we’re known for our dynamic, high-impact live shows. Our sets are full of energy, vulnerability, and chemistry. We often switch roles mid-performance — a drummer becomes a lead vocalist, a rapper jumps on keys, a guitarist loops live harmonies. We aim to break down the wall between audience and artist. Every show is unique, and every moment is intentional. We’ve performed extensively across London, from intimate grassroots venues to some of the city's more established spaces, always leaving the stage with the crowd wanting more. One of our proudest achievements is the community we've built. Through authentic engagement — both online and in person — we’ve cultivated a loyal and growing fanbase that connects with our message and sound. We’ve also caught the attention of major figures in the UK music scene, including Skepta, Dave, Giggs, and DJ AG, which has been a huge encouragement and sign that we're on the right path. Ultimately, we perform because we believe music is one of the most powerful ways to make people feel seen, heard, and connected. We want to create work that moves people — not just to dance, but to reflect, to heal, to hope. Lower Ground isn’t just a band — we’re a movement. And this is just the beginning.

I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for your excellent performance at our Celebration of Support event on Wednesday evening.

Lower Ground delivered an absolutely outstanding performance at our Sudanese charity event. From the moment they stepped on stage, they brought an energy that completely transformed the room. Their music was vibrant, engaging, and perfectly in tune with the atmosphere we hoped to create. What stood out most was their ability to connect with the audience within minutes, people were clapping, dancing, and fully immersed in the moment. Their stage presence was confident and effortless, and their sound added a dynamic, uplifting spirit to the entire evening. Not only did they elevate the mood, but they also helped amplify the purpose of the event. Their performance contributed greatly to the warmth, unity, and excitement we wanted to foster in support of our cause. We’re incredibly grateful to Lower Ground for being part of our event, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for talented performers who truly know how to energise a crowd.

Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We ensure to make sure the line-up you see is what you will get. We have pre-auditioned members for situations where a band member is unavailable.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our main line-up is Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Bass, Drums but we do vary around depending on the song. All of our musicians are multi-instrumentalists so therefore we have a variety of songs.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We try our best to be flexible to help you run your event smoothly. Please let us know as soon as possible when you find this out.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely! We offer this service included in any price you see on our page!

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually take around 1.5 hours to set up before the performance time. We will prioritise the PA system to then start playing the curated playlist to help set the atmosphere!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are curated from previous performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

All of our equipment is included in the service. We will need a minimum of 6 by 4m space to perform.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £40 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
