Biography

Andrew Onwubolu MBE (born 6 June 1989), better known by his stage name Rapman,[1] is a British rapper, record producer, screenwriter and film director. He is known for dealing with socially conscious themes, as well as his uniquely vivid style of storytelling through the medium of rap.

 

He made his debut with the Blue Story Trilogy (2013–2014), which he followed up with several charity music videos for SB.TV including Hope (2015), Pay As You Go (2016), and Promise (2017). Rapman experienced international fame with his three-part YouTube trilogy Shiro's Story (2018), which gained a cult following among the music scene in the United Kingdom and led to his signing with Jay-Z's Roc Nation.

 

Rapman made his writing and directorial debut with Blue Story (2019), an adaptation of his YouTube series of the same name. His other film and TV credits include American Son, the remake of the 2009 French crime film A Prophet, and the Netflix superhero series Supacell.

In 2022, Rapman was appointed MBE in the 2022 Birthday Honours from Elizabeth II for services to drama and music, through his rapping and filmmaking.
