Description
Obongjayar's sound is a singular blend of the worlds he has traversed: Nigeria, where he was raised in Calabar, and London, where he settled as a teenager.
He fuses pop and West African inflections, sublimating them with his punk sensibility for spellbinding live performances. He has won an Ivor Novello for his singular pen, reached the Top 5 with over 225 million streams for his contribution to Fred Again's song Adore u, and collaborates with artists such as Jeshi, Little Simz and Pa Salieu. Obongjayar is one of the UK's most exciting modern voices.
