Burna Boy

Burna Boy

 

One of West Africa’s biggest stars, Nigeria's Burna Boy is the stage name of Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu. Heavily inspired by his grandfather – who managed Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti – he started mixing his own beats at a young age.

He has collaborated with and been sampled by numerous artists over the years, including Beyoncé, J Hus, Fall Out Boy, Jorja Smith, Damian Marley, Lily Allen and his fellow avid Manchester United fans Stormzy and Dave.

Performing at the London Stadium twice, a year apart, he became the first African artist to headline a UK stadium at the same venue, and has scored Platinum-selling hits in the UK with "Location" (with Dave), "Own It" (with Stormzy & Ed Sheeran) "Be Honest" (with Jorja Smith), "Last Last", "For My Hand" (featuring Ed Sheeran), "Ye", and "Play Play" (with J Hus).
