Outstanding: Fuse ODG

Fuse ODG is an Afrobeats artist born in South London and raised in both the capital and Ghana. “These songs encapsulate my journey of musical inspiration from when I was growing up until now,” he tells Apple Music. “These artists were legends and my heroes—and their music still resonates with me as an adult. Some of these legends also ignited the fire in me to want to make impactful music. Some of them simply made me want to forget what I was going through in life and just be happy.”
