Yemi Rush is one of the shining lights of the sub genre of Afrobeats tagged ‘’UK Afrobeats’’ due to being a resident of the United Kingdom and making the fusion between the authentic African sounds with a blend of R’n’b, Dancehall and Grime. Known for his soulful voice, Yemi who grew up in Lagos Nigeria, started his music journey in familiar territory the church. A leading member of the choir, his vocal range and ability was spotted early and encouraged by friends and choir members to pursue a professional career in music.
Whilst studying in London, he got introduced to a producer who had a recording studio and began recording regular pop and r’n’b songs. Heavily influenced by the likes of R.Kelly, Joe etc, Yemi Rush’s first tough decision was having to chose between making music true to his roots which became the fast rising African popular music otherwise known as Afrobeats or stick to what he was influenced by which was pop and r’n’b. He chose the latter and rest is history. He later joined the UK group UNG, which consist of Afrobeat star Kida Kudz and a hit making duo began to gain popularity in the UK as well as in Nigeria. After a few years with the label including releasing singles, Yemi embarked on a solo refuting the lure of record label deals in Nigeria and deciding to self fund a UK career which has seen him release hit singles ‘’Aunty Julie’’, ‘’Your Body’’ and ‘’Lashibi’’ to fantastic reception on the UK Afrobeats scene with all three songs heavily supporte by radio stations.
