ESSEO is the melodic, R&B, trap-influenced pseudonym of a singer-songwriter whose solemn yet vibrant sagas explore nostalgia, toxicity, and love. A key member of UK collective <a href="spotify:artist:3IBeXtgk3DYucM6GCXzUNH" data-name="Nothing Was Easy">Nothing Was Easy</a>, ESSEO helps define a new wave of ambient, emotionally rich sound.
He first emerged as Scorpio, co-founding Luton crew <a href="spotify:artist:4TEg41IUWprP56coPiXDNy" data-name="Vital Knights">Vital Knights</a> in 2004 and releasing cult singles like “<a href="spotify:album:6aj4cFvmIZKMg064dlsZWl" data-name="Ain't Made for Dis Ting">Ain't Made for Dis Ting</a>” and Channel AKA staple “<a href="spotify:track:0addcJwLb34CtXC8BFett9" data-name="We Just Entered (Vol.2)">We Just Entered (Vol.2)</a>”. From national TV appearances as a teen to label internships at Relentless and Insanity Records, ESSEO gained both industry insight and artist credibility—supporting campaigns for acts like <a href="spotify:artist:40NRiKuuhj1pgGYppptlBO" data-name="Not3s">Not3s</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7z2avKuuiMAT4XZJFv8Rvh" data-name="Tom Walker">Tom Walker</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0oJM3iJjMdzgsd4z5VHQvw" data-name="Professor Green">Professor Green</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0Nc09HuPN9ELmbTCLyNKnO" data-name="Nadia Rose">Nadia Rose</a> & more.
Armed with degrees in Music Business, A&R, and Songwriting, ESSEO reintroduced himself in 2019 with debut project “Eclipse”, and later returned with <a href="spotify:album:30U07wO5BTLCthBA1EuyOM" data-name="Neptunes">Neptunes</a>, its deluxe edition, and collab EP <a href="spotify:album:1RuoO22yOVki6SkvnHXYZ2" data-name="Slime Summer">Slime Summer</a> alongside NWE. In 2022 he released full-length LP <a href="spotify:album:68tX7vBvBRhf9rDbBxDg0G" data-name="Retrograde Memoirs">Retrograde Memoirs</a>, followed by <a href="spotify:playlist:4gJQIkM7lMc0V3o3Km5ftU" data-name="Before You Move On ❄️🌹">Before You Move On ❄️🌹</a> in 2024.
Now, ESSEO enters a new chapter with his EP, “BIRDS BEFORE LAND”—a meditative body of work capturing the emotional tension before transition. Lush and reflective, the project signals yet another evolution in ESSEO’s ever-expanding creative journey.
