1 upcoming festival

London singer working a patient, conversational strain of British R&B — writing about family, faith and self-worth with unusual candour.

Bellah is a British singer and songwriter from London working in R&B. Of Nigerian heritage, she writes in a direct, conversational register, with songs that address family, faith, relationships and self-belief rather than trading in abstraction. Her arrangements are generally restrained, giving space to layered vocal harmony and unhurried phrasing, and she has built her audience largely through independently released EPs and singles within the UK R&B scene.
