Isobel Akpobire, known professionally as Bellah, is a British singer and songwriter.
Early life and career beginnings
Akpobire was born in Enfield, North London. She grew up as an only child to a single mother and lived with her uncles who influenced her musical tastes by playing 1990s R&B, such as Destiny's Child and SWV.[1][2]
After participating in musical theatre from the age of four, she undertook her first studio session at age 10, recording a cover of Be Without You by Mary J. Blige.[1]
She found a management team after being spotted at a local festival that she performed at after having sung Beyoncé's Flawless at a school talent show.[2]
Career
After five years of artist development, Akpobire released her debut EP called Last Train Home in 2019.[2] The debut single released from the EP was Never Loved and this was made Track of the Week by BBC Radio 1Xtra.[3]
This was followed by the release of In the Meantime and The Art of Conversation in 2020, the second of which was released by London-based independent record label Marathon Artists.[4]
Akpobire's music reached a wider audience in 2021 when she performed her single Evil Eye on the ColorsxStudios platform.[1]
In 2022, Akpobire made her debut performance at Wireless Festival. In the same year she released her third EP Adultsville, which was executive produced by Grammy Award winner Ari PenSmith.[5]
In 2023, Akpobire was nominated for Best R&B/Soul Act at the MOBO Awards.[6]
