For LeoStayTrill, music was fated. Rapping since he was just 4 years old, leading school

performances by the time he was 9 and breaking the internet with a global hit before his 18th birthday,

there’s no doubt that this is what he was meant to do. “I feel like it’s always been God given for me to

be gravitating towards music,” he agrees. “Whether it’s music playing in the car and I’m learning all

the lyrics, spending hours and hours trying to figure out how to create my own, even at parties or

family get togethers, I was always the one that’s somehow performing for relatives, somehow getting

called to do something,” he laughs. He’d even get in trouble at school for daydreaming or writing bars

in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Born to Zimbabwean parents and raised in Bromley, South

London, at first his parents didn’t quite get it. But after seeing him performing to huge crowds while

still in primary school, it wasn’t long before they understood he was a natural. “Now they’re fully on

board,” he smiles.
