Raised in Calabar, Nigeria, before moving to London as a teen, Obongjayar’s sound is a singular blend of the worlds he moves through. Working with everyone from Jeshi to Little Simz to Pa Salieu, OB is famed for his distinct fusion of global pop melodies grounded with West African inflections, alongside his mesmerizing live performances and his innate punk sensibilities. It won him an Ivor Novello for his singular pen and earned him a Top 5 single with over 225 million streams for his feature on Fred Again..’s ‘adore u’, which heavily samples OB’s original ‘I Wish It Was Me’.
