Oraka is a titan in the northern area, but his successes chart on a national - and global - scale. His breakthrough hits 'Darcy, 'Men Behaving Badly' and 'Flex' garnered streams in the millions and found champions in The Guardian, Mixmag, i-D, The Quietus and TRENCH alongside BBC Radio 1, 6Music, 1Xtra and Reprezent.
The collision of his personality-driven floor fillers, diaristic lyrics and high-octane stage presence has earned him support slots with Stormzy, Novelist, Akala and US hip-hop legend KRS One.
Oraka has performed across the length and breadth of the UK with his debut headline tour this autumn, and is primed to take his sound trans-Atlantic from the streets of North Hull to the dusty planes of Austin, Texas at SXSW next year.
