OMO FRENCHIE

Congo-born, Peckham-raised, Omo Frenchie is a leading light in a new wave of music coming out of the UK that pulls from recent British staples such as Drill and UK Rap, and throws them in the pot with Afrobeats, Coupe Decale and Zouk, to create an entirely new sound of the underground. As confident layering harmonies as he is spitting fierce bars, Omo Frenchie is a true all-rounder; he produces many of his own beats, and has a unique approach to melody that sees him switch between genre with ease. Spitting his bars in a heady mix of English and French, as interested in politics and justice as he is in turn up tracks and party bangers, he has a rare international appeal that has seen him pick up fans from across the globe. Hailed as the inventor of Afro-Drill (with his 2018 track, simply titled Afro-Drill being the first to coin the phrase) Frenchie may just be your favourite artist’s favourite artist - with a catalogue featuring guest verses from scene leaders such as Naira Marley and AbraCadabra, and a rep as live performer with the kind of ferocious mic skills rarely seen in the UK since the days of grime, he’s a complete artist, ready to take his time in the spotlight.
