Obongjayar

The fascinating sounds of the Obongjayar (born Steven Umoh) universe first piqued our interest a few years back with the early singles & then there was the immense ‘Point And Kiiiiiiil’ collaboration with our queen Little Simz last year.

Steeped in soulful vocal tones which reside within a unique blend of diverse musical influences, the Nigerian-born Londoner’s long-time-in-the-making debut incorporates elements of afrobeat, spoken word, soul & electronic music...& his oh so deeeeeep voice that slides between rapping, singing & spoken word. Fresh, challenging, rewarding, inventive, endearing, engaging, authentic - there’s so much to explore here. Dig in.
