Elmiene

Elmiene’s voice is undeniable, resurrecting the theatrics and vocal chops of old-school R&B loverboys with the timeless philosophies of our soul titans and filters it through a refreshingly modern production prism of jagged synths, metallic chords and soaring strings to create something entirely new and compelling.

Born in Frankfurt, Germany, to Sudanese parents and raised in Oxford, since the age of 5, he has been called on for his sweetly soulful croons.

As debuts go, his first single ‘Golden’ was quite a monumental one. After a chance encounter with Louis Vuitton’s musical director and DJ Benji B, the track struck a chord and went on to form the soundtrack of Virgil Abloh’s final show for the brand, taking on an entirely new cultural gravitas.

Since then, Elmiene has graced Lil Silva’s critically-acclaimed Yesterday Is Heavy project and Stormzy’s This Is What I Mean, collaborated with Sampha, Jim-E Stack, BADBADNOTGOOD, Syd, Dahi, James Vincent McMorrow, Courage and Woon.
