WHAT IT IS: Elmiene, a U.K.-based 21-year-old R&B artist, 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; it was his first live performance. Elmiene has since performed on COLORS, been featured on critically acclaimed albums by Stormzy and Lil Silva, performed at Glastonbury and made his TV debut on Later… With Jools Holland. His latest offering, Marking My Time, features standout tracks including “Someday” and “Mad at Fire,” landing him on artists-to-watch lists from Spotify, BBC Sound of 2024, VEVO and Pandora, among others.
