About Chrissy Day: Of Jamaican, Egyptian and Ethiopian heritage, Chrissy draws inspiration from a number of artists, current and classic – think Sade and Anita Baker to Audrey Nuna and Kehlani. Keen to establish herself as a songwriter, in 2023 she performed for UD at The Great Escape, was highlighted by Complex UK as an artist to watch, joined Kojey Radical’s South African writing camp and signed her first EP deal, collaborating with Ray Records on ‘Understatement’. Crowd favourite, ‘Outside’, as heard in UD Live Room Session 1, is due for release soon (pre-save ‘Outside’ here https://ditto.fm/outside-chrissy-day).
About UD Live Room: Filmed in our 31sq meter live room, with separate vocal booth, connected to two independent control rooms, the live room is equipped with a Mapex LA Mars Drumkit, a Yamaha Baby Grand and a plethora of instruments by Fender, Yamaha, Nord and Arturia upon request.
