DAYO BELLO
Dayo Bello
Dayo Bello is a Nigerian-British singer, songwriter and self-producing artist from South East London who honed his craft at the renowned BRIT School. Working primarily in UK R&B, he blends grime, funk, gospel and pop into a warm, melody-driven sound, and produces his own material — often recording live band takes for an honest, unpolished texture rather than leaning on MIDI instruments. His debut EP '360' was entirely self-produced, and he has since built a catalogue including 'Outside' (2023), 'A Penny for Your Thoughts' (2024) and his acclaimed 2025 album 'DB' and 'DB (Deluxe)'. Known for velvety vocals and raw, introspective storytelling, his music draws on D'Angelo, Frank Ocean, Prince and Kendrick Lamar. He has played live dates including Ronnie Scott's and SXSW London 2025, and sits among London's emerging new-soul scene. With ~127k monthly Spotify listeners and a steady release cadence, Dayo is an active mid-tier artist-producer building an independent career.
