Saturday (Played On BBC Radio 1 Introducing)

Keys player, producer, DJ, organiser of Queer Theory cabaret

Crowned as BBC Introducing inaugural ‘Scottish Act of the Year’ Bemz  is only getting started. Born in Nigeria, Bemz moved to south London with his parents and six siblings when he was just four. Ten years later, his father decided he should escape the chaos of London and move north to Scotland, where he lived with his aunt and uncle in Stranraer. It was here that Bemz found his voice. From freestyle rapping with his brother at the age of 15; to studying sound production in Ayrshire college; to eventually moving to Glasgow, where he made his SAY (Scottish Album of the Year) Award nominated 2020 debut album ‘Saint of Lost Causes’, Bemz’ lyrical journey is tangible proof that rap’s cultural reach stretches far beyond London and the English borders. 

His music has received support on BBC Radio London, BBC 1Xtra, and Kiss FM and has been championed by the likes of Radio 1’s Gemma Bradley and DJ Target. Bemz received BBC 1Xtra’s Pick of the Week, with previous single ‘26’ receiving Track of the Week. Delivering a raw, emotionally charged view of life, but never falling into the clichéd trappings that often come with that territory, Bemz’ sound stands out for being strikingly honest and unrestrained.
In the last 12 months, Bemz has embarked on a UK-wide tour supporting The Snuts, made his TRNSMT festival debut and in April played his biggest show to date - a sold out headline show at Glasgow’s SWG3 Warehouse. While also sharing his latest EP ‘Nova’s Dad’ his most revealing and assured release to date offering moving meditations on the importance of family, home, and self-acceptance.
He recently impressed international audiences with his showcase performance at Tallinn Music Week in Estonia and Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Dundee with summer festival slots also including Kelburn Garden Party, Fringe by the Sea in North Berwick and Youth Beatz in Dumfries.
