-----------------------------------------------------------
Mohammed Animashaun is bringing a new feel to R&B and afrobeats.
Born in Lagos, the British-Nigerian songwriter, better known by his stage name Moelogo, moved to South London in 2001 and found a love for singing through his school music class.
Not only does Moelogo have a distinctive vocal ability that sets him apart from many acts coming out from both Nigeria and the UK, he’s also got a clear technical understanding of several genres as a whole—which is evident in the jazz, R&B, hip-hop and afrobeats-infused sound he's molded for himself.
Sitting at a living room of an apartment in Wembley, Moelogo tells me he doesn't believe in binding himself to one genre and doesn’t want to be represented as a one-dimensional artist. It's this diverse sound that's gotten him to collaborate with some noteworthy UK artists like Giggs and Mostack, as well as perform across Africa, Europe and the US.
Moelogo first broke out in 2013 with “Pangolo,” a synth-heavy track made for the dance floor. He recently came out with Ìréti, a 5-song EP created with producer P2J. "Ìréti" translates to “Hope” in his native Yoruyba language Yoruba.
His buzz is rising as the the likes of Davido and Sarkodie have remixed his Ìréti's standout “Penkele."
