We’re extremely excited to be bringing you one of the most exciting artists coming out of Manchester’s hip hop scene. OneDa. An artist who refuses to be boxed in, OneDa’s music speaks for itself. Always beginning with her own intrepid demeanor and dexterous wordplay, her tracks incorporate elements from the hip-hop and drum and bass scenes of her home city of Manchester before adding an eclectic mix of afro-trap and tinges of afrobeats that lean into her Nigerian heritage. OneDa’s expertise transcends mere lyrical skill; it involves effortlessly merging her chicaning poetic verses with the ever-changing rhythm of shifting beats. Her boundless linguistic talent distinguishes her as a unique force of nature and a master craftswoman. Named by The Face as one of the key MC’s at the forefront of the drum ‘n’ bass renaissance, OneDa is a multihyphenate who has long focused on empowering others. Now, she is speeding off the starting grid on her own with her self- produced debut album, ‘Formula OneDa’, out now. She headlined with Angélique Kidjo on stage, to launch Aviva Studios (Factory International) in Manchester alongside Layfullstop and Ellen Beth Abdi; supported Baxter Dury and Kneecap on their UK tours and headlined Manchester Pride 2023. This summer she appeared on multiple stages at this year’s Glastonbury Festival and at Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here weekend. OneDa will be supported by local talent ZAIM, Johntay and OskarCW0
