Sonedo is the genre-bending project of half-Japanese, half-Scottish keyboardist and producer Sean Edo Morrison.

This powerhouse live band forges a fresh blend of jazz, UK rap, and dance music, with the group weaving a tapestry of jazz improvisation with sharp lyricism and seriously modern grooves.

Taking cues from artists like Ezra Collective, corto.alto, Venna and Knucks, the group delivers a high-energy, collaborative sound that feels both deeply musical and distinctly UK.

Winners of the prestigious Peter Whittingham Jazz Development Award from Help Musicians, Sonedo is now gearing up to release their debut album.
