WESL1

Brimming hot from the gritty, energetic streets of Port Harcourt and bound to go worldwide, WESL1 is the act you hear and regret you hadn't heard sooner. Fente Orafere, popularly known as WESL1 (Pronounced Wesley) is a frontman Afro-Drill artiste with roots in Bayelsa State but loyalties in the city of Port Harcourt where he was born and raised. Attending Rivers State University, WESL1 manages a budding musical career alongside his studies.

WESL1's Interest in music spurted at an early age, particularly the times when he would accompany his older brother to the studio. Over the course of his musical Journey, WESL1 has raved stages with his anthemic sound and rumbustious performances quickly becoming a campus sensation and a sure candidate for worldwide acclaim.

Much like his personality, WESL1's sound could be described as stirring yet chill and relaxing; what he coins Afro-Drill, a sweet blend of the sharp and cutting lyricism of UK drill rap and the bustling baseline of catchy Afrobeats; with themes highlighting love, pain, the struggle to succes, among many others; drawing deep inspiration from popular voices by the likes of Dave, Central Cee, Burna Boy and ODUMODUBLVCK yet maintaining the peculiar mark of cadence and rhythm that is unmistakably "WESL1".

During his leisure and also odd hours, WESL1 can be found cooking up lyrical magic and infectious melodies in the sound booth or on his social media handles.
