Born in 1995, singer and producer Nonso Amadi grew up during one of the golden ages for Lagos Afrobeats. and he adopted the genres of softly textured, vocal-fused traditions with ease. After moving to Canada, he was inspired by modern R&B, citing Toronto native Drake’s genre-hopping style as an influence as he explores a genre inspired by North America and Africa in equal parts. Nonso Amadi is one of the most exciting artists to emerge in recent years. A leader in the rising Alte/Afrobeats/R&B world, his unique fusion of sounds and diverse cultural influences are rooted in the African music of his childhood and encompass a truly global cohort of genres and styles.
