Migrated from the capital city of the West Midlands – Coventry – to the southerly climes of London, Ghostpoet looks set to make his mark on 2010.

The soft-spoken 24-year-old has already won over BBC Radio 1’s foremost taste maker Gilles Peterson and his Brownswood recordings with a handful of off-kilter, loopy electronic ditties blessed with his delightfully rambling musings on modern life.


Born and raised somewhere between London, Coventry, Nigeria and Dominica, Obaro admits that his heritage is important to him, but that it hasn’t consciously affected his musical career: “My parents enjoyed listening to music around the house but never really encouraged it as a career. I kind of pursued listening to various sounds late into the night when the house was asleep.”

Don’t sleep on this young, inventive, British artist - he’s destined for greatness.
