OneDa, recently shortlisted for the AIM Awards’ ‘One to Watch’ category, is quickly becoming a rising star in UK music. Known for her poetic wordplay and powerful flow, she has supported artists like Kneecap and Baxter Dury, performed at major festivals including Glastonbury and Boomtown, and headlined alongside Angélique Kidjo at Aviva Studios.
Her debut album Formula OneDa reflects her journey from underdog to leader, blending afro-trap, afrobeats, hip-hop, and drum and bass into a unique sound shaped by her Nigerian heritage and Manchester roots.
A passionate advocate for self-love and empowerment, OneDa’s music reflects her journey of overcoming personal struggles. Beyond music, she leads hip-hop therapy sessions for Manchester youth and supports initiatives that amplify marginalized voices. As she continues to rise, OneDa is firmly in the driver’s seat, ready to take her career to new heights.
