Strandz was born in Germany, subsequently moved to Nigeria and
finally to South London where he currently resides. For him it was
very eye opening how notably different cultures affected the way of
life and opportunities in each country. Growing up in South London,
Penge, he quickly had to adapt to the rules of society and the
called “street code”. Music started a few years later for Strandz, back
in the CD days he would dig through his Dad’s collection hoping to
find some hip-hop. There was only one red CD, which to Strandz was
filled with pure gold. A mix of all the New York greats - such as 50
Cent, Fat Joe, Terror squad, D-Block and so on. Strandz sound and
passion for music stems from a truly eclectic ear hearing the sounds
of Nigeria, Germany and London whilst being deeply inspired by what
existed across the pond on the east coast in the 90s & 2000s.
Through a series of releases, Strandz went from making music when
attending his local youth club and making songs with 6 of his friends,
to a Top 10 single, dynamic performances at Reading Festival and
Glastonbury 2023 and now almost 2 million monthly listeners on
Spotify making Strandz one of the most exciting and sought after
artists in the UK.
With a trejecotory to soar globally building credible audiences
already in Australia, Germany, Asia and Sweden, Strandz is only at the
beginning of an extraordinary journey ahead.
