++ VISIONOBI ++
Winning Best Newcomer MC at 2013’s Drum & Bass Arena awards, Visionobi broke the glass ceiling that held back many of his contemporaries, becoming the go-to host for many of the scene’s biggest players, including Metalheadz, Shogun Audio, Soulvent and many more.
Originally sharpening his vocal skills as part of a Southampton based drum and bass family that included Gerra & Stone and Joe Raygun, the group created a thriving local scene, with Visionobi expanding his talents beyond the city and holding down a ‘Visionobi Presents’ residency at London’s superclub Fabric, an ever-expanding phenomenon operating under the ‘Colony’ brand as well as ‘Visionobi Presents‘.
Besides establishing himself on the live circuit, Visionobi also presides over an impressive discography, including releases on the mighty Metalheadz, Dispatch Recordings, Sun & Bass Recordings and Soulvent, all showcasing his thought-provoking grasp of conscious lyrical content and his infectiously pulsating flow. His deep musical knowledge and eye for rising talent earned him an incredible 4-year run hosting Metalheadz’ Rinse FM show.
2023 saw the release of his long-awaited debut album ‘Weather The Storm’ on Soulvent Records. The album, the culmination of 25 years of work, boasts a whopping 14 collaborators, featuring some of the game’s most valued and esteemed vocalists and producers. Visionobi’s first foray into the long-player format showcases his talent for both writing and delivery across a whole range of styles and sub-genres from our diverse scene.
Focusing more of his energy towards performing as a DJ/MC, showcasing his album, his mixing ability and MCing prowess, Visionobi is taking things to the next level as well as continuing to host for some of the scene's most valued artists.
