May Kolta is an emerging London-based alt-pop jazz and folk musician crafting laid-back yet grooving songs that celebrate tenderness. Her upcoming project is a cohesive concept record, with songs unfolding chronologically and connected through using food as metaphor. It leans into gentler, warmer, and more atmospheric textures, highlighting femininity and beauty. Musically, it highlights improvisation with piano taking the centre while maintaining the strong hooks at the core of her sound. Her live performances bring her recordings to life with intimacy and emotional openness.
