SENGI

Born in Belgium, raised in Leeds, and rooted in Rwanda, 24-year-old SENGI blends sharp lyricism with genre-fluid sounds shaped by his journey of self-discovery. His Rwandan heritage taught him the value of family and connection, while the vibrant music scene in Leeds fueled his passion and creativity.

SENGI’s breakout single Less Talk More Action has earned over 200,000 streams, contributing to a total of 300,000 streams across all his songs. His debut project Swervin showcased his self-reflective style and helped him build a growing audience. He has performed in London, Leeds, and Newcastle, and shared stages with artists like Jords, Rushy, and BXKS while developing the North East scene after moving to Newcastle in 2021.

Influenced by artists such as J. Cole, Mick Jenkins, Knucks, A2, Sainté, and Lancey Foux, SENGI creates music that explores identity, space, and emotional honesty. From early days listening to his father’s Michael Jackson CDs to watching FLAVA TV, music has always been a vital part of his life. After a bipolar disorder diagnosis, his creative focus shifted toward making space for openness, connection, and authentic expression.

Looking ahead, SENGI is preparing a new project in collaboration with a notable producer that embraces electronic elements and signals an exciting new direction for 2025.
