Essosa’s creative journey began in East London, her childhood spent writing stories, drawing pictures, and by the age of seven, songwriting. Born Joy Aiseosa Bakare to Nigerian parents, she was raised in Toronto, Canada, before later moving back to Essex. The British-Canadian-Nigerian singer began releasing music independently at age 17, releasing her first single, “The Retreat,” as a protest to Brexit and the mistreatment of minorities in the U.K.
Through social media, the 24-year-old has garnered an audience, viral hits, and platforms to connect with fans. Her debut EP, Dreamworld, was released in 2021, followed by her single, “Lemonade.” In 2023, she released “Waste My Time,” which has become a staple, earning over 48 million streams on Spotify, resulting in a record deal with Atlantic Records and Soundcloud’s ‘Ascending Star’ recognition. The year 2024 saw the release of her EP, Essies’s World.
Essosa was inspired by artists like Nelly Furtado and Michael Jackson, as well as ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s music. Now, she’s pushing her pen and honing her talents to make a lane for herself.
