**After four years of making music, South London’s Cikho burst onto the scene in 2026, marking him as one to watch.** Growing up in SE London, he was the only kid in his ends making the funky, upbeat and vulnerable music that defines his sound, drawing inspiration from **Steve** **Lacy**, **Pharrell** **Williams** and **Jamiroquai**. A melody man from a young age, Cikho taught himself to sing and write songs through years of practising on BandLab. Growing up listening to pop songs on Vevo, he developed a love for great melodies and discovering new music that continues to shape his sound today.
