Keziah Jones (born Olufemi Sanyaolu on 10 January 1968) is a Nigerian singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, he fled the country at the age of eight to be educated at the prestigious Public School, Millfield in North London, England. Keziah says, "I had to find a way out of all that (English Public school system), and music was it!" By the age of 13 he had discovered the old school piano and began teaching himself how to play and write songs. Three years later, he picked up the guitar and began busking in London in the metro, folk clubs and on the streets, whilst constantly having to avoid the police. Moving between London and Paris and always accompanied by his guitar, Jones acquired a reputation as a unique musician and charismatic performer with his own unique "hard funk" style. He is known for his distinctive style of guitar playing, including his percussive right-hand technique which is similar to a bass guitarist's slapping technique. He describes his musical style as "Blufunk", which is a fusion between raw blues elements and hard, edgy funk rhythms. Also his Nigerian roots in Yoruba music and soul music can be considered a major influence on his sound. In 1992 he released his debut album 'Blufunk Is A fact', including his first single and now classic, “Rhythm Is Love" which went on to be a global hit. Keziah has now released six studio albums which have spawned more hits including "Where Is Life", “A Million Miles From Home”, “Beautiful Emilie”, "Femiliarise", "Kpafuca” and “1973”. Keziah, who lives and works between two worlds (Lagos,Africa and Paris, Europe), has always assessed and expressed the relationship between the northern and southern hemispheres in his art. He says “what I want to show the world is the modernity of post-colonial Africa, far from the image that the western world carries of a continent devastated by famine and/or war. I’m talking about young urban Africa. 25 million people live in Lagos! Modern contemporary African culture is a reality. Today, African culture has proven its vivacity in music with the burgeoning sound of Afrobeat, in fashion and art, all of which is nourished by the Diaspora.”
