Nigerian-born, UK-based singer/songwriter Jacob Banks moved to Birmingham at the age of 13, and began singing, playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 20. He got his start recording songs for friends to listen to in their cars and hitting the open mic circuit before self-releasing his first EP The Monologue in 2013.

Jacob has since released independent EP The Paradox and made his debut on Interscope Records with The Boy Who Cried Freedom EP.  His track “Worthy” has surpassed 5 million streams on Spotify, and his music has been praised by everyone from The New York Times to Vogue, with Time recognizing “Chainsmoking” as one of the “Best Songs of 2017 So Far” and The FADER naming “Mercy” one of their “Songs You Need in Your Life This Week.”

Having supported the likes of Alicia Keys, Sam Smith and Emeli Sandé on tour in the UK, Jacob is now playing to festival crowds around the world including including Lollapalooza, Firefly, Outsidelands and Austin City Limits in the US. The New York Times named Jacob one of “12 Notable Acts” at SXSW.  This fall, Jacob will embark on his headlining North American Into the Wild tour. The tour will kick off with a show at LA’s The Roxy on November 2nd, which sold out 3 months in advance, and will run through December 5th in Atlanta. Jacob is also gearing up to release new music imminently.

AJ Tracey is an independent multi-platinum selling artist, instrumental in pioneering the new sound of UK rap. 

His sound has a versatility that extends across grime (‘Thiago Silva’), drill (‘Bringing It Back’) and hip-hop (‘Little More Love’), among other genres. Collaborators have been equally wide-ranging: T-Pain, Kehlani, Skepta, Popcaan, Mabel, Digga D, MoStack, Aitch, Dave, Gorillaz and Mahalia — to name a few. 

AJ’s boundary pushing reignites and reimagines established genres: one example being the triple-platinum single 'Ladbroke Grove,' which sparked a resurgence in the sound that endures to this day.

AJ Tracey's open-minded approach continues to have positive cultural impact and reach a new generation of rap fans. In 2023, he was honoured with the Brits Billion Award, celebrating 1 billion streams in the UK alone. This accolade stands as a testament to his unwavering commitment to pushing artistic boundaries, without compromise.
