Nigerian-born, London-based musician/singer/songwriter Steven Umoh creates haunting but intense sounds under the Obongjayar moniker, drawing on inspiration from both his Nigerian upbringing and futuristic hip-hop and electronic influences. After contributing to Richard Russell's Everything Is Recorded project, Umoh readied more solo material, releasing his four-song EP Bassey in 2017 and finally delivering a full-length debut in 2022 with the critically lauded Some Nights I Dream of Doors. A year later he was featured on Fred again..'s infectious hit "Adore You," and he released several singles of his own, including 2024's "Just My Luck." Obongjayar's follow-up album, Paradise Now, was released in mid-2025, coinciding with an appearance on Little Simz's album Lotus.
