Antony Szmierek : BBC Introducing & PRS Foundation Showcase Fund (SXSW 2025)
Biog : In only a short while, Antony Szmierek has captivated audiences with his thoughtful lyricism across rap, spoken word, and dance music. Hailed one of BBC 6 Music’s Artists of the Year for 2023, in the past eighteen months he made his television debut on Later… With Jools Holland, performed an entirely sold-out first ever UK headline tour and released two acclaimed EP’s ‘Poems To Dance To’ and ‘Seasoning’. He has had a string of A List singles on BBC 6 Music, a Maida Vale session for Future Artists on BBC Radio 1 and daytime support at the station as their Introducing Track of the Week. Szmierek says the ultimate mission of his music is to let others know that this is all possible. His debut album is set for release on 28th February 2025 with a headline tour across Europe, which includes Antony and band play ESNS 2025 Showcase, that the PRS International Showcase Fund is supporting.
