 returns to New York on July 25 for a special open air session at H0L0 Yard.

Few DJs have played a bigger role in bringing Afrobeats onto the world's biggest stages. Over the last decade, the Lagos born DJ, producer, and label founder has built a career that stretches far beyond the booth, helping shape the soundtrack of a generation through chart topping releases, major collaborations, and landmark performances across the globe.

His catalog includes records with Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, Tiwa Savage, Fireboy DML, Sean Paul, Omah Lay, Tyla, Summer Walker, DJ Snake, and many more. Songs like "Palazzo," "Sere," "Dis Love," and "Loju" have become staples across clubs, festivals, and radio, helping establish SPINALL as one of the most respected names in African music.

On stage, his résumé speaks for itself. SPINALL has performed at Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, ACL Festival, SXSW, and major events throughout Africa, Europe, and North America. He made history as the first Afrobeats DJ to perform at Coachella across two consecutive weekends and has shared stages with artists including Chris Brown, Akon, Kelly Rowland, Brandy, Migos, David Guetta, and Diddy. His impact has also earned him multiple Afrimma, Soundcity MVP, and Beatz Awards, along with partnerships with global brands such as Pepsi and Smirnoff.

Coming off the success of Top Boy and a string of recent releases including collaborations with Wizkid, Teni, Omah Lay, and Tyla, SPINALL continues to push African music into new spaces while staying connected to the culture that shaped him.
