SALIEU'S THE SOUND OF 2021

1/7/21

Warner Records U.K. rapper Pa Salieu has been crowned winner of BBC Music Sound of 2021. His debut mixtape, Send them to Coventry, arrived last year.

Managed by September Management, Salieu was born in Slough and spent his formative years in Gambia before moving to Coventry at the age of eight. His new home later became the inspiration behind his breakout track, “Frontline,” and his debut mixtape. He’s had widespread support at BBC Radio 1Xtra and Radio 1. Should touring be viable, he’s set to play a string of U.K. dates in May, including a show at London’s 700-capacity Village Underground.
