WE SAY

Next up on our Ones To Watch 2025 is Belfast breakout artist Jordan Adetunji. It’s been a phenomenal year for the 25-year-old who has taken the world by storm with his eclectic sounds. Enamoured by the stars of his teenage years - Wizkid, Burna Boy, J Hus, Yxng Bane - and the genres they were able to establish globally - Afrobeats and Afroswing - alongside the unorthodox energy of the punk scene of his home city Belfast, Jordan created his own diverse soundscape. His early releases and last year’s debut EP, ‘Rock N’ Rave’ quickly racked up millions of streams before he dropped the massive hit ‘Kehlani’ and this accompanying remix featuring Kehlani. The hit single spent four weeks in the UK Top 10 (peaking at #8), soared to No.1 on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay Chart, peaking at No.24 on the Billboard Hot 10, while also topping streaming charts in over 37 countries and numerous editorial DSP placements. The track spent weeks in the Top 40 on the UK airplay charts and accumulated A-list support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, Capital Xtra, Kiss, and more. To date, the track has amassed over 350m combined streams and over half a million TikTok creations. Tastemaker praise has come from Rolling Stone, Billboard, BBC, Wonderland and NME, as well as being tipped by Vevo as one of their DSCVR Artists to Watch 2025. With the undeniable ability to create an absolute gem, we believe Jordan Adentunji is only just beginning and has the makings to be a superstar of 2025.
