Crafted by himself, Mayday hails from Birmingham. Taking inspiration from garage mixes his mother use to play in his early years and infusing them with a love of international music on a wider scale, the 0121 native is set to bring his playful storytelling music to the world. The self-proclaimed ‘Kingstanding Captain’ is one of the most exciting prospects from the West Midlands to emerge in recent times. Mayday is slowly carving out his own lane in the grime scene, one that is inspired by many but not easily imitated.
2019 saw two completed music funded projects in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Osaka, Japan. Winning the ‘Rising Star’ Award at the 2019 Birmingham Music Awards topped a solid first half of the year with the second half seeing the release of ‘Ghost Of October’, the latest project of Mayday.
Launching his 'Every Second Tuesday' initiative in 2020 has shown his range across the spectrum of multiple genres, sounds and more. With Q1 2021 set in his sights as the timeframe to capitalise on the momentum, Mayday is at the front of Birmingham's next great Grime generation.
