Journey
Kanayo Victor Uwajeh, known artistically as AnaYor, is a Nigerian-British rapper whose music stands out for its storytelling, live instrumentation, and emotional depth. Born with a rich Nigerian cultural heritage and raised in London, AnaYor draws upon his dual-cultural identity to weave narratives steeped in themes of trauma, self-growth, and acceptance. His artistic journey was catalyzed during his school years when a teacher encouraged him to explore poetry and performance. Today, AnaYor is a regular performer at events like the Monthly Art Club at the Institut Français du Nigeria in Abuja. His early work was characterized by themes of survival and escape, a reflection of his personal evolution. Over time, his music transitioned into themes of healing, accountability, and a conscious desire to improve life choices. Tracks such as the introspective 'On The Road' and the celebratory 'Low Low,' produced by Scion Beatz, exhibit his nuanced exploration of personal themes. His collaboration on 'Jejely' with Raj King Cap demonstrates his versatility and affinity for collaboration. Influenced by albums like Drake's 'Nothing Was the Same' and J. Cole's 'Born Sinner,' AnaYor consistently blends quality production with compelling storytelling.
