OluwaMillar

Hailing from Oyo, one of West Africa's most storied towns, OluwaMillar is a Nigerian-born, Stoke-on-Trent-based rapper, raconteur & performer. In a rave review of his EP, Agbalagbi Nigerian pop culture powerhouse MoreBranches christened his sound 'Yoruba Soul,' calling the 7-track debut “a masterclass in cultural fusion, where raw hip-hop energy meets deep Yoruba philosophical undertones.” His brilliant wordplay, ingenious rhyming, cadence & storytelling earned him Wretch 32 & Reminisce co-signs in 2024. The following year in September 2025, he made his UK stage debut at Tim Lyre's SENPAI LIVE Concert in Notting Hill Arts Club, London. Now based in Staffordshire, recent highlights include a B ARTS Stoke micro-commission, a performance at the maiden Cheshire Afrofest, and a set at the 3 Counties Arts Exhibition first ever Summer Lates hosted by Arts Keele with Kwanzaa Collective. He recently debuted a sustainability-focused piece at Up-Rooted Global Majority Festival for Climate Justice in Nottingham. " Gbese Le," his Baile Funk record with Sensei Lo was played on BBC Radio 6 & 1Xtra. Gbadura / Ya Allahu, a sensational 2-pack is his latest drop. Gbadura is hip-hop on a gentle groove with his rap verses echoing prayers for the fallen, the grieving, & those grinding through grief. Ya Allahu leans into amapiano with a three-step rhythm, building from solemn to celebratory: a manifestation anthem that doubles as a prayer manual. One thing's for sure, his music is soul food.
