Nigerian singer and songwriter Qing Madi has already established herself as an unrivalled name on the African pop scene as a teenager. And with her debut album I Am The Blueprint released this year, she's well on her way to conquering the rest of the world with her irresistible blend of Afrobeats and R&B.
Qing Madi was a songwriter from an early age, and she has revealed that several of the songs she ended up including on her debut EP Qing Madi from 2023 were written and recorded when she was only 14 years old. And shortly after graduating from high school, she began writing songs for several Nigerian stars, a sign of her unparalleled music abilities.
However, her first singles in her own name, "See Finish" (2022) and "Ole" (2023), quickly made her a star in her own right, not least thanks to massive hype on TikTok. And with I Am The Blueprint, she proves that she can embrace the album format with confidence, nerve and artistic integrity. Musically, she combines the contemporary Afrobeats sound with global pop and R&B tones and inspiration from hip-hop icons like Kendrick Lamar.
With a strong debut album under her belt, she's ready to fire up the crowd at Roskilde Festival, where she will be performing her first Danish concert. There's no doubt the dancefloor will be buzzing when the charismatic young singer delivers her bangers live with a full band.
