"Christopher Fenimore Obongjayar, born Steven Umoh in Lagos, was raised in southern Nigeria, by the coast, in a town called Calabar. He's since gone global, living in London and releasing music that's making its way all around the world. You might know him from the brilliant collaborative track with producer Fred Again, Adore U. Or maybe you hard his single Gasoline in F1: The Movie. There's a lot more where that came from."
"When did you first discover you had a passion for music? Always. I've always been a musician. There's no memory I've had that wasn't musical, and that's really interesting to me because I didn't grow up with a musical family. Apparently, my dad wanted to pursue music at one point. But I didn't know my dad, so that had nothing to do with me. It's just always been a part of my thing."
Christopher Fenimore Obongjayar was born Steven Umoh in Lagos and raised in Calabar on Nigeria's southern coast. He relocated to the UK at 17 to attend Kingston College and later enrolled in Norwich University of the Arts for graphic design, leaving in his second year to pursue music. He lives in London and has released music that reached global audiences, including a collaboration with producer Fred Again on Adore U and the single Gasoline featured in F1: The Movie. He recently released the album Paradise Now, an unpredictable, infectious melange of tracks and influences. He composes primarily on guitar and piano in a distinct, percussive style.
