Obongjayar

Obongjayar’s sound is a singular mix of the worlds he has crossed: Nigeria, where he was raised in Calabar, and London where he settled in adolescence. It merges pop and West African inflections that it sublimates with its punk sensitivity for enchanting live performances. He won an Ivor Novello for his singular pen, ranked in the Top 5 with more than 225 million streams for his participation in the song Adore u by Fred Again and collaborated with artists such as Jeshi, Little Simz and Pa Salieu. Obongjayar is one of the most exciting modern voices in the UK.
