Onur Sevigen
With well-oiled beats and a style that lies somewhere between Orient and Occident, Onur Sevigen has built up a reputation as a multifaceted R’n’B artist in the British music scene over the last few years. The 25-year-old Londoner manages unconventional tracks such as “Lambo” and the furious “Alaturka” (2024) with a stylistic confidence that allows him to integrate influences from Turkish folk music and Istanbul rap just as easily as soulful chords and fuzzy effects. A little Prince, a pinch of Michael Jackson, but also some Sagopa Kajmer and delicate breakbeats turn Sevigen’s sound into a rousing feast for the senses. Sold-out shows in the UK and Turkey speak a clear language about what to expect from this rapper, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist in one: performance at the highest level.
