ABOUT THE SHOW
Fuse ODG is a groundbreaking Ghanaian-English afrobeats recording artist who has achieved huge commercial crossover over the last decade. Today he is one of the most successful artists of his genre to hit the mainstream.
Fuse ODG will bring his signature style to Foundry for an electric and unforgettable night of music. Expect to hear everything from his top-ten debut single Antenna, which he released back in 2013 when he entered the industry, to tracks marking his recent comeback on TikTok.
This return has solidified Fuse’s ability to create timeless tracks made for dancing.
His talent is demonstrated in UK singles chart entries Million Pound Girl (Badder Than Bad), dance craze Azonto, Dangerous Love featuring Sean Paul, T.I.N.A featuring Angel, as well as global anthem Light It Up (Major Lazer). Light It Up surpassed one billion streams on Spotify alone in 2021.
Fuse ODG has won multiple awards, including the coveted MOBO Award for Best African Act twice. He claimed African Muzik Magazine’s Best Male Diaspora prize and Afro-Pop Song of the Year for Antenna at the Ghana Music Awards.
Fuse has made recent history being the first Ghanaian to win a Grammy Award for co-writing Ed Sheeran’s Divide album, an achievement which helps re-enforce his mission to change the perception of Africa.
With support from Aziza Jaye
Aziza Jaye is a Sheffield-born singer, lyricist, and producer with deep Jamaican roots. Raised as a true ‘sound system baby’, watching her dad warm up rigs, she’s had music in her blood from the start. Over 20 years of honing her craft across the UK and internationally, she coined the term ‘genre-less’ to describe her effortless shape shifting between styles.
Highlights include collaborations with Mungo’s Hi Fi, Nile Rodgers, Toddla T, Jumpin Jack Frost, K.O.G, and a viral moment sharing the mic with Ed Sheeran.
She made a key impact as a core vocalist and co-writer on Nubiyan Twist’s acclaimed 2024 album Find Your Flame (Strut Records), featuring on standout tracks and touring extensively.
For Aziza, music is healing and channeling raw expression from life experiences, with the hope her words help someone feel seen.
Now fully focused on her solo project, Aziza channels her energy into a genre-fluid soundscape rooted, yet spiritual. In 2026, she steps unapologetically into her next chapter, to share her message with the world.
