NONSO AMADI
Nonso Amadi is a JUNO Award-nominated, Canadian-based Afro-R&B, soul singer, songwriter, and producer from Nigeria. With an affinity for contemporary R&B, Nonso developed a desire to explore North America and Africa in equal parts – citing Toronto-native Drake’s genre-hopping capability as an inspiration for his own creative fluidity. Amadi’s music is powered by borderless infusions and intention.

Upon release, Nonso landed prestigious cover placements across streaming platforms with the album garnering over 100+ million streams and praise from the likes of Billboard, Complex, Teen Vogue, MTV and more. Nonso’s efforts have been ratified by the industry; between his debut album When It Blooms receiving a JUNO nomination for Contemporary R&B Recording Of The Year, being featured as VEVO DSCVR Artist To Watch & a Spotify Radar Artist, and more. His 2016 song “Tonight” was highlighted by Billboard as one of the Top 50 Best Afrobeats Songs of All Time. With his debut album, Amadi cemented himself in the vanguard of the next generation of artists bringing Afro-R&B to the international stage.
