Ady Suleiman - Brother (Single)

Ady Suleiman Returns with Soul-Stirring Single “Brother” and Announces New Album Chasing.

Nottingham-born singer-songwriter Ady Suleiman has returned with a powerful new single, “Brother”, and confirmed that his forthcoming album, Chasing, will be released on 16 January.

Written between London and Zanzibar, Chasing is a deeply personal project exploring love, identity, mental health, and heritage. It marks a mature new chapter for Ady, one that reintroduces him as a storyteller unafraid to reflect, challenge, and heal through his music.

The new single, Brother, takes inspiration from the tragic killing of Stephen Lawrence, a story that deeply resonated with Ady during lockdown. Having lived in Woolwich at the time and realising he shared the same bus route home as Lawrence, Ady found the song difficult yet necessary to complete. “With everything happening in the world, it’s hard to keep choosing love,” he says. “Brother is my way of saying I see you, I love you, I stand with you.”

Musically, the track blends jazz-laden instrumentation with sombre, stirring emotion, its trumpet lines echoing the pain, frustration, and resilience at the song’s core. It’s a moving testament to Ady’s growth as both artist and activist.

Raised in Grantham, East Midlands, Ady found solace in music early on. A gifted guitar from his godfather sparked his songwriting journey, later fuelled by his father’s Best of Jimi Hendrix compilation. After studying music at the University of Liverpool, he began gigging relentlessly and building a following through heartfelt performances and viral clips like What’s The Score and Stay At Mine.

Since his debut EPs and 2018 album, Ady has steadily carved his place in UK soul, earning nods from Liam Bailey and Chance The Rapper along the way. After a short hiatus, he returned earlier this year with Miracle and Never Meant To Hurt You featuring Kofi Stone, signalling a return to his roots and a renewed creative energy.

With Chasing, Ady Suleiman steps fully into his truth, blending personal reflection with social awareness and reminding us that empathy remains a radical act.
