Vexx Kismet
From Lagos, Nigeria
His music is sun-soaked, percussion-forward afrobeats — a blend of syncopated drums, warm basslines, shimmering guitar licks and honeyed vocals that pull listeners into the dance. The mood is buoyant and sensual, equal parts contagious energy and late-night introspection.
Vexx Kismet grew up in the bustling neighborhoods of Lagos, teaching himself rhythms on a battered keyboard and drums salvaged from street parties. He honed his craft performing at local gatherings and late-night club sets, turning everyday stories into catchy hooks and polished productions. Gradually his DIY recordings found a wider audience, propelling him from market stages to radio play and packed shows.
