PCL: Ghostpoet

Ghostpoet (born Obaro Ejimiwe) is a British singer and producer. The melancholy MC treats us to a live performance on the back of Some Say I So I Say Light: the follow-up to his Mercury-nominated debut album.

In June 2010, Ghostpoet released his first EP The Sound Of Strangers on Brownswood Recordings and was later featured in the Guardian’s New Band Of The Day. His first single, Cash & Carry Me Home, was released on 24 January 2011, followed by the debut album on 7 February 2011, Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam. His single Survive It was launched in Rough Trade East Record store, on London's Brick Lane on 9 May 2011.

In 2011, he supported Metronomy and Jamie Woon in their tours and performed at Glastonbury, Sónar, Latitude, Secret Garden Party and Bestival among others. Ghostpoet was among the nominees for the 2011 Mercury Prize.

Ghostpoet's second album Some Say I So I Say Light was released in May 2013. The album was preceded by the single Msi Musmid, made available as a free download from SoundCloud in late February. Ghostpoet premiered Meltdown, the first single taken from his second album, on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio in March 2013.
