Skepta
Upcoming concerts and tickets

Joseph Junior Adenuga, widely known as Skepta, is a prominent English Grime MC hailing from Tottenham, North London. Born in London to Nigerian parents, he moved to the city at the age of three from Lagos. His ancestry can be traced further back to the Falash Mura community in Ethiopia. Skepta is also recognized as a producer and DJ, closely associated with the North London Grime scene and groups such as Roll Deep and Boy Better Know.

The stage name "Skepta" is derived from the word "sceptre." Dissatisfied with the spelling and seeking a unique identity, he adopted the name to ensure he would be the sole result when searching for it on platforms like YouTube.

Skepta's musical journey began after winning an MC battle against over 300 contestants, notably defeating Tempa T in the final. He formed a creative partnership with his brother JME, and they gained significant recognition across Greater London for their hit single and self-produced track, "Private Caller," which featured several members of their Meridian Crew from Meridian Walk in Tottenham.
