L is one of the most prolific and creative talents to emerge from the UK scene in recent years. L was born in London to an English father and Nigerian mother, he moved to Brazil aged 3 and then on to Nigeria at 10 before returning to London 6 years ago. The diverse upbringing has influenced him to blend the different styles which make up his sound.

L got his first break in January 2011 when he featured on Wretch 32's number 4 debut single 'Traktor'. He immediately penned 'How we roll' for Loick Essien which hit number 2 spot in the singles chart. Since then he has written for Kelis, JLS, Mz Bratt, collaborated with Maxsta, Roxxann, Benny Banks, and Sincere.

Performing with Wretch 32, being a featured artist on the 2011 Bigga Fish tour, and performing at respected live events such as ILuvLive and YoYo's has set the scene for a string of tour dates in 2012.

Despite all of the previous achievements and opportunities, the release of L's debut mixtape 'The Wait' encapsulates an introduction to L the artist and his forth-coming body of work. From the Dubstep influenced feel of 'So Cold' to the snarling Grime sounds of 'Beast', to 'The Wait'. A 4 and a half minute audio prologue, almost a manifesto of his intent for success accompanied by the Emil Nava directed video.
