Neo 21 is a Bradford-based Afrofusion artist whose sound blends Afrobeats, melodic UK rap, and reflective lyricism into music that resonates deeply with both local and international audiences. Rooted in his Nigerian heritage and shaped by his experience in West Yorkshire, Neo 21 has carved a unique lane in the UK’s independent music space marked by storytelling, sonic range, and sharp creative direction.
His debut EP Teriqus, released in July 2025, showcases this fusion across four tracks exploring themes of ambition, vulnerability, self-belief, and cultural identity. The project follows a year of steady momentum: three singles, over 70,000 streams, playlist and radio support (Amazing Radio UK/US, BCB), and write-ups from over 70 outlets including The Guardian, Telegraph & Argus, Daily Trust, and Conversations About Her.
Neo 21’s live presence has grown with performances across West Yorkshire and beyond-including appearances at Duncan Mighty Live, Music X Tech 2025, BAFA Festival, and the Community Stars Award. His music is clean, thought-provoking, and performance-ready-created for audiences who want more than a vibe, but a story to hold on to.
