With the release of his eagerly anticipated debut mix tape “Young and Gifted” Lightnin has wowed crowds at radio shows and clubs with his original and unique sway of energy, with hits such as “Hard Life” and “Brother Love” the young and talented artist leads us into his soul through his realism by depth of his personal and unique lyrical flow.



Lightnin, the young Gambian and Senegalese solo music artist (mc) was born in the UK in 1988. Growing up in east London in a fairly scattered family, which was continuously on the move, the young artist developed a firm need to express his inner most thoughts, ideas, emotions, understanding of culture and the steady battle with life and its incessant struggles.



Realizing his foreseen talent at the age of 12, where Lightnin took part in a talent show in school, where he performed a stargazed dance routine to Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, after receiving a standing ovation, he found it extremely comfortable in the spot light and decided that he wanted to perform as a gateway of expression for the rest of his life. Loved ones quickly witnessed a rapid growth of passion and energy, which encouraged Lightnin to direct his being towards his gift.



A childhood friendship formed soon after in a youth club where he found like minded young individuals like himself who he felt he could reflect with and formed a group “Straight from Hell”. Shortly after he decided to move on from this project, he was founded by “Younger Nasty Crew” (2004) an already established group of young mc’s and vocalists, who were fascinated by the artists hunger for success realism towards the world and how he translated this into his individuality and therefore his lyrics. However Lightnin shortly after found himself up graded to “Nasty Crew” (2005) due to his rapid growth in self understanding, and a strong diversity in his lyrics.



Lightnin has been a solo artist from 2006, due to his passionate hunger for knoll age and understanding of his culturist background along with a passionate uncontrollable drive. He was quickly founded by an experienced and practiced artist Ghetto (mc) who took lightnin under his wing and worked with him to promote himself, still working with him now, Lightnin, as well as an independent artist and performer, is part of “J.Clarke enterprise”, the founded group of UK artists by Ghetto.



Working with a vast range of artists from the UK grime scene such as, Chipmunk, Brutal, Ruff Squad, Gigs, Kano, etc. Lightnin has two videos out on channel U and Mtv, speaking and expressing views on all aspects of himself and his inspiration which are his loved ones and the world around him, these are the dominant influences to the base of his music, with understanding and writing to his family “Brother Love” is a clear example, “I haven’t seen my two older brothers in a while, I wrote brother love for them to let them no how I feel for them and that they are everyday with me in my thoughts”.

Lightnin has also been invited to be a guest on a range of different radio stations; Kiss, Radio 1, 1 Extra (Westwood) and various pirate stations, where he received a positive energy and was introduced to a broadened fan base.
