Niyi’s back! The multi-tasking - and talented – one-man musician, DJ, club promoter, fashionista and general boy-about-town recently released his six track EP Jungle Fever on Holloway Hit Factory - his own record label.
Since his last single Poached Eggs, Niyi’s been a busy dude. He was recently featured in a five-page shoot for Clash magazine’s October 2009 issue. He also ran his hugely popular weekly club night ‘I Heart Niyi’ at Punk in Soho for a year, which was graced each week with the crème de la crème of the fashion and music world (Lady Ga Ga performed live last year as part of London Fashion Week and Calvin Harris, Little Boots and Golden Silvers have all DJed).
It’s hard to sum up Niyi. The ex Central St. Martin students’ musical repertoire is refreshingly unpredictable. A softly-spoken “rapper”, Niyi cannot be lumped into existing categories and so forges his own genre-bending music which is represented on Jungle Fever. How he found the time to record the single is beyond me, but after a couple of listens, I think you'll agree it's a good thing he did.
