Signing to Keep Cool, Lucky Daye released his first single ‘Roll Some Mo’ in 2018 two EP’s and a debut album a very short time later, and he is well on his way to becoming one of the hottest tickets in town. Years later, after escaping and relocating to Atlanta, Georgia, Daye began to doggedly pursue his dream of a career in music, soon making it to the Top 20 of American Idol season four before cutting his teeth as a songwriter, composing tracks for such names as Ne-Yo, Ella Mai, Trey Songz and the queen herself, Mary J Blige. Having begun his life in a cult where secular music was banned, Lucky Daye instead turned children’s books into songs of his own.

There is a reason that Lucky Daye aka David Debrandon Brown has scooped four Grammy Award nominations, including one for Best R&B album for his debut Painted the man has infinite spirit. But despite his unwavering popularity and flawless delivery, Khalid was last night in danger of being dethroned by his very own support act. Playing his second evening at Spark Arena, Khalid brought to Auckland his Free Spirit tour in celebration of his sophomore album of the same name.
