What is Youth L’AB?

Youth L’AB is AB’s laboratory for multilingual youngsters of Brussels. For a year, these multi-talented youngsters were part of the AB Team. They got to know the inner workings of AB, they curated a line-up together with Stoemp! for the very own Stoemp! x Youth L’AB stage at Brussel Brost and now they present their own one-day festival: COLLISION.

Podcast

Running up to the event, Youth L’AB has been recording a podcast titled “In The Lab” (coming soon) It is a 5 episode series that focuses on the insides of the music industry, the life of artists and what surrounds this profession.

 It features guests from the Belgian music industry such as rapper LeBlanc and singers MPLI and Lyna. Each episode highlights a different aspect with a unique perspective from the guests. Be prepared to discover the episodes on Identity, Mental health, Women in the industry and Family pressure.

The fifth and final episode will be recorded live on the day of COLLISION. It will be a chance to finish off the series and bring up all previous subjects as well as upcoming musical projects. Our headliner Lyna will be the guest of this final episode.

Showcases

The line-up features a diverse group of talented musicians, taking the audience on a captivating journey through various genres: alt-rock, hip-hop / rap, R&B, pop and soul.

Lyna

Lyna is an ambitious singer who thrives well within the R&B-, Pop- and Soul scenel. Since she was a child, she used to sing a lot with her father, who is a well-known Moroccan musician. She fell in love with music, after discovering Brandy, who she credits as an inspiration for her own style. In 2022, she released her first solo album ‘Way Too Nice’. At this event she will give us a taste of her upcoming album.

All-Turn

All-Turn is the stage name of Asante Brochez, a 22 year old Belgian rap-artist, with Zambian origins. Growing up around Ghent, All-Turn started rapping in 2018. Since then, he's been busy writing lyrics and voicing his vision and identity on experimental, yet familiar hip-hop beats. From rapping on trap to old-school, he always finds a way to express himself. A big party is guaranteed when All-Turn is handed the mic!

White Corbeau

"When you put your heart into what you do, you can only be happy!” That’s the philosophy of White Corbeau, a rising star on the Belgian music scene, who sings and raps in both English and French. Drawing on a wide range of influences - from Debussy's Clair de lune to Ray Charles's jazz and the RnB of his teenage years - White Corbeau's sunny music exudes peace and serenity. His first EP, RELEASE MODE 1, revealed an artist who cannot and does not want to be put in a box and his single Dispersé is a beautiful ode to diversification.

NEMODE

Nemode is an alternative rock duo from Brussels made of Furyo and Nina, two young artists dedicated to pushing back the boundaries of their creativity.

Blending influences from pop and electronic music while preserving the authenticity of rock, the duo's ambition is to compose bold, heartfelt tracks reflecting their personal experiences and resonating with their generation.

Jam session

The last part of the evening will be an interactive one. Everyone will be encouraged to participate in an improvisational jam session with a band of professional musicians, blurring the lines between performer and audience. This is the very concept where the title of the event comes from, so come and collide together!
