WHAT IT IS: 21-year-old, U.K.-based Elmiene first made waves with his 2021 track “Golden,” which went viral after Benji B handpicked it to soundtrack Virgil Abloh’s final Louis Vuitton show. He was invited again by Benji to perform alongside Robert Glasper and Yasiin Bey for LV in Paris, his first live show. Elmiene has since appeared on critically acclaimed albums by Stormzy and Lil Silva, performed at Glastonbury and made his TV debut on Later… With Jools Holland. His latest release, Marking My Time, is the follow-up to his debut EP, El-Mean, released independently this spring and featuring collabs with DJ Dahi, Jim-E Stack, Sampha, Syd, Courage, Lil Silva and more.
