SIPHO. is the product of an eclectic musical palette. Across the years, the Birmingham native channelled influence from his early days of listening to rock bands like Paramore, Three Days Grace and Foo Fighters to more recent inspirations like Earl Sweatshirt, Solange, and Frank Ocean. Throughout his formative years, SIPHO. navigated multiple interests before becoming firmly focused on music in his teenage years, recalling utilising his secondary school’s music rooms.

SIPHO.’s debut album ‘PRAYERS & PARANOIA’ embraces a multitude of genres and boldly embraces the complexities of retaining hope in the face of growing and becoming an adult. The project acts as a refreshingly honest acknowledgement of self-worth, faith, insecurity, and anger, binding together to inform critical conversations on becoming an adult and living through the most complex form of humankind in history.

‘PRAYERS & PARANOIA’ is a brave and earnest work of art, carefully piecing together the intricacies of being that have come to inform SIPHO.’s coming of age. The debut LP also portrays the tumultuous nature of egotism and how it’s come to define a generation of digital natives, both in how they talk to themselves and in how they navigate and feed into mass communication. It’s a gripping, moving debut album that instantly places SIPHO. as an artist filled with integrity and honesty. We can’t wait to go on a journey with SIPHO. at Cross The Tracks 2024.
