Octavian, a notable figure in the British hip-hop scene, has made waves with his unique blend of rap, grime, and dance music. Born in Lille, France on January 22, 1996, and raised in London from the age of three, Octavian emerged from a challenging upbringing to become one of the most innovative voices in the UK's urban music landscape. His style is known for its experimental edge, blending together a melange of sounds that defy traditional genre boundaries.

With his breakout single "Party Here" catapulting him into the limelight in 2017, Octavian quickly garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. His talent and originality led him to win the prestigious BBC Music Sound of 2019, marking him as a rising star to watch. Through subsequent releases such as "22," "Feel," and "Alpha," he showcased his versatility as an artist. The gritty, trap-infused beats of "Blicky," the smooth aura of "Famous," and the cross-genre collaboration in "Poison," featuring the likes of Take A Daytrip, Obongjayar, and Santi, all highlight Octavian's adaptability and broad appeal. Whether it's through solo tracks or joint efforts like "Pattern Chanel" with Essie Gang or "Somewhere" in collaboration with Theophilus London, Octavian's commitment to innovation continues to push the boundaries of what UK music can be.
