Born to Nigerian and Ugandan parents, Ms Banks is a trailblazing rapper, singer, and songwriter from South London. Known for her razor-sharp lyricism and infectious melodies, she has become a dominant force in the British Rap scene. Focused on her artistry rather than drama, she has released two EPs and two mixtapes, with an eagerly awaited new project set for 2025. Banks’ career has impressive milestones, including touring with global stars Megan The Stallion, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B as well as Wizkid and Giggs, and she has amassed over 250 million streams. Banks’ latest release, Bank Statement, hit No. 1 on the UK Official Hip-Hop and R&B Charts and iTunes' Hip-Hop chart. She is a versatile collaborator who has worked with high-profile artists such as Stormzy, Tinashe and Little Mix plus has received support from Clash, Music Week, BBC, Red Bull, Grazia, and The Evening Standard. Her achievements include a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and the PRS Foundation New Artist Award at Music Week’s Women in Music ceremony. A dynamic performer, Ms Banks also took the stage at the Queen's Jubilee alongside Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers in 2022, further cementing her influence and presence in contemporary music.
Over the past two years, Banks has undergone a profound transformation, driven by the looming threat of burnout after working non-stop since she was 18. In the summer of 2022, a series of life changes prompted her to take a much-needed break to reevaluate her career and personal well-being. Though stepping back from releasing music was initially challenging, it became a blessing in disguise, catalysing her renewal. Banks focused on her physical and spiritual health, gaining clarity and perspective. This period of self-reflection has allowed her to return to the music scene stronger, more balanced, and more determined than ever. This past summer, she had the incredible opportunity to join Megan Thee Stallion on her 5-date European tour, an experience that reignited her passion for performing. Banks is excited to channel that into her upcoming live shows and can’t wait to return to the stage to perform her new material.
