Mitchel Casimir

Mitchel Casimir didn’t just fall into music, he fought to believe he even had a voice in the first place. Growing up in Nigeria, He was the ‘science kid’, expected to become an engineer, but behind the equations, he was quietly memorising lyrics and catching harmonies.

Music was always there, but so was the doubt. He struggled with insecurity, constantly questioning whether he was “good enough.” He pushed his voice beyond its natural range, trying to sound like the artists he looked up to. Rejections came, and with them, a quiet decision: if he couldn’t be heard, he’d write for those who were.

At 16, songwriting became his outlet. Honest lyrics, melodies from the soul, it wasn’t about impressing anyone anymore, it was survival.
When he moved to the UK, things shifted. He joined a choir, got his hands on a piano, and started recording rough demos in his room. Puberty gave his voice weight, and for the first time, people really listened. Life got real, he dropped out of uni due to financial pressure and turned to barbering to make ends meet. But the music never stopped.

In 2024, with some savings and a some borrowed change from friends, he got his first basic production setup. Teaching himself production, he began creating songs from his bedroom, raw, vulnerable, and real.

Now in 2025, Mitchel Casimir is no longer silencing himself. His debut single Here For You marks the beginning of a sound that’s been years in the making.
