About
MAFRO makes emotional electronic music that swings between melancholy and club euphoria. Growing up in North London with a Trinidadian mother and an Irish father, MAFRO’s home was filled with a blend of steel pan-infused Soca beats and traditional Irish melodies, as well as the UK Garage and RnB that his older sister would play on repeat. This diverse range of influences has profoundly inspired his music-making.
MAFRO has flourished as one of the UK's most promising new talents since the launch of his debut EP, Bloom, in 2023. He has been recognised as “dance music's upcoming breakthrough act” in NME’s Top 100, gained support across the board at BBC R1, and covered Spotify’s UK House Music playlist for 5 consecutive weeks. He also launched his live show in 2023 supporting SG Lewis, Jungle, Friendly Fires and Bonobo, and performed at festivals Field Day and Lost Village over the summer.
The multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter also cut his teeth co-writing and co-producing for huge global names including TSHA & Aluna, Ellie Goulding & Gregory Porter, and Diplo’s huge breakbeat anthem ‘Let You Go’.
MAFRO’s recent singles ‘Love Me’, ‘Bad Enough’ and ‘Higher’ were released this year ahead of his forthcoming Higher EP, set to drop in early 2024.
