Neo21 is an Afro-fusion artist known for his dynamic blend of Hip-Hop and Afrobeat genres.

He began his musical journey in Nigeria, where his passion for rhythm and rhyme led to his selection as a top 5 candidate in a talent exhibition organized by Trophy Lager Nigeria, from over 1,000 entries.

Seeking to refine his craft, he relocated to the UK, soaking in the diverse sounds and influences of the British music scene. Now settled in the culturally rich city of Bradford,

Neo21 is set to make waves as one of the next up in the UK music landscape, starting from the North of England. His style reflects his cultural and artistic background, combining lyrical storytelling with positive, insightful messaging on an energetic, upbeat, and melodious soundscape.

Neo 21 has adopted Bradford as his UK hometown, developing roots in its creative scene. He hosts a biweekly Afrobeats show on the local community radio station BCB 106.6 FM and actively promotes Afrobeats gigs in the region. He has received support from local community organizations such as Bradford Producing Hub, The Prince's Trust, and Enterprise West Yorkshire, and is deeply involved with the Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture team.

With the "SGMA Remix," Neo 21 is poised to ignite the conversation about the viability of an Afrobeats MC. Few artists are in this category, and even fewer in the UK, but Neo is ready to put Bradford on the map!
