2026 MOBO Awards Best Newcomer nominee, namesbliss is an independent Rapper/MC hailing from Kilburn, London sitting at the apex of Jazz Rap and Neo Grime. Epitomised by the viral hit Iniesta Flow, what remains consistent is the signature sound he has made entirely on his own. A rare gem in a scene who is hungry for innovation, namesbliss continues to take the UK Alternative Rap scene by storm in 2026 with a string of sold-out UK shows and festival bookings. He now returns with his second album, ‘Where’s Bliss?’, capped off with a London headline at Islington Assembly Hall. A pioneer of a new sound in UK rap, this is the project propelling bliss to the very top. An artist who has earned every room he has walked into, namesbliss is not emerging so much as he is arriving. Arrive in time for the opening act and show your support for up-and-coming artists and maybe discover your new favourite act!
