Azekel (meaning “Praise The Lord”) is a Nigerian-born singer, songwriter and producer.

Although rooted in his Nigerian heritage which dominated life at home, Azekel grew up to the sounds of his new East London streets and all the influences of this melting pot...from electronic and rock music, through to hip-hop, grime and bhangra. He developed a passion for soul and R’n’B, whilst at the same time learning about Nigerian funk and psychedelic rock and was soon studying Music Production at university to develop his producer skillset.
