B Mela

B MELA is an Afropop, R&B singer-songwriter from the UK. Her unique, warm and melodic tone encapsulates her sound and exemplifies a true feel-good artist. She thrives on storytelling through music and loves to create sweet melodies through music composition. B MELA has had major radio on BBC Introducing and was BBC 1xtra’s track of the week. In 2022, she headlined the BBC Music Introducing stage at Latitude Festival and was chosen to sing at the 1Xtra’s RnB cypher at the legendary Maida Vale studios.

MELA stands for 'mastering expressing love always' - this is exactly what she stands for and she aspires to inspire people through the medium of music. Influenced by an array of artists such as Beyoncé, Burna Boy, Brandy, Labrinth and more, B MELA pulls from life's experiences, writing her songs to connect with others. Raised by Nigerian parents with three younger siblings, B MELA established a passion for music early on. Her parents created a couple’s gospel album which B MELA openly cringed at but secretly loved as a child and was inspired to one day make her own music. She explored singing and performing further by joining different choirs and musical ensembles in London. She later found her voice in songwriting and merged all her influences into one under her love for Afrobeats. She aims to create music people wish to be a part of, allows her true self to shine through her music and works hard to cultivate a timeless sound that is authentic to herself.
