This friday the 7th of November Kasha is spreading his wings and flying up to the Birmingham NEC where he will be performing his first set on what hopes to be a very epic journey that is “The Oracle Tour”. This is not all however, as Kasha will also be making an appearance on Birmingham's leading multicultural radio station, New style Radio 98.7FM.
So the Oracle Tour kicks off in Birmingham where Kasha will be performing the penultimate set as part of Access to Music's ‘ATOM Stage'. As always Kasha will have a lot to give and there will be more pre release copies of the Oracle going out.
The stage will also be home to many other artists including one of particular prowess called Richard Lianhart. Richard is a talented artist and beatboxer. He became the first ever beatboxer to appear in London's West End and has performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and The Bolshoi Ballet. So definitely worth a look.
Tickets for Music Live can be bought here.
Or can you can the ticket hotline on 0871 945 4956
Kasha will be on New Style Radio between 5-6PM Friday 7th. You can tune in on 98.7 FM in the Birmingham area or via their live online link here.

Q-Tip threw down the gauntlet early at this year's CMJ Music Marathon, repeating his controversial complaint from years ago, saying, "Hip-hop is dead."
"The appetite for music is bigger than it ever has been," Q-Tip said at the "Hip-Hop Renaissance" panel yesterday at NYU. "But hip-hop will never go back to the way it was. Maybe it'll morph into something else."
Vibe Editor Danyel Smith said that may not necessarily be a bad thing, since the Internet allows music lovers to hunt down new artists in ways that didn't exist before.
"There is an underground again," Smith said. "We might be at the start of something new."
And finding something new is the center of the 28th CMJ Music Marathon, a five-day convention that started yesterday that will bring more than 1,000 acts and 100,000 music fans into venues of all sorts throughout New York.
"It's the new version of crate-digging," said Chris Inglish of the hip-hop group Cool Kids, adding that on the Internet, "if you suck, then you know it that day."
Q-Tip says that kind of discovery is what made hip-hop so successful early on. "More people were doing it for fun," he said. "There was a naiveté that people attached to it."
He said that hip-hop was co-opted "when the corporations came in and people started seeing it was making money."
But that has started to change. "I know it sounds hokey," Q-Tip said. "You have to love what you do."
