This year marks 25 years since I first picked up a pen to write my first lyric and today my debut album Weather The Storm is out on @soulventrecords 🙌 Yes TODAY!!! Can you believe it?! I’m not sure I can 🥲
I’ve been going through all the emotions this morning thinking about that 25 year journey and I genuinely feel blessed to be here in this moment, still following my passion all these years later 🙏
This album is the culmination of years of hard graft and dedication to this music that I love so much ❤️ Rapping is the only thing I’ve ever truly wanted to do since my early teens, so I’ve poured my heart and soul into this album conveying my inner thoughts, struggles and my reality through music. I hope you guys find something to connect with ⚡️
Shouts to all the artists involved, Jack on the artwork and Soulvent for all their hard work 😏
Massive love to everyone supporting ❤️ Link in bio to Buy/Listen. Try from start to finish if you can and let me know what you think 😘
Fusion festival is honestly one of the most epic festivals I’ve been to!
The vibe was unreal, aesthetically I can’t think of a festival more beautiful, sound was weighty at every stage, the hospitality fantastic and crowd awesome!
The way the festival is run from an eco standpoint has to be the future! So forward thinking and just generally a special place! Also barely any security and a no phones on the dance floor policy adding to the experience! Everyone together and engaged.
I took a couple of snaps just to remember, but stayed in the moment to fully enjoy the experience. Mostly heard techno & house, but also some dub, D&B, Metal, 140 and other stuff. Honestly such a special festival, that really softened the Glasto envy haha!
Big love to Audite for getting me out and GEST as well!
Also GEST invites in Berlin last Thursday with DLR and GEST was also a vibe! RSO Berlin is a wicked club! Had an epic 3 days in and around Berlin as always!
On to HOTB now >>> Let’s go!
Just over a week to go till Visionobi lands in Oxford. Fingers crossed it’ll be the same day as England V Italy and the sun will be shining.
Visionobi Bio 2024
Winning Best Newcomer MC at 2013’s Drum & Bass Arena awards, Visionobi broke the glass ceiling that held back many of his contemporaries, becoming the go-to host for many of the scene’s biggest players, including Metalheadz, Shogun Audio, Soulvent and many more.
Originally sharpening his vocal skills as part of a Southampton based drum and bass family that included Gerra & Stone and Joe Raygun, the group created a thriving local scene, with Visionobi expanding his talents beyond the city and holding down a ‘Visionobi Presents’ residency at London’s superclub Fabric, an ever-expanding phenomenon operating under the ‘Colony’ brand as well as ‘Visionobi Presents‘.
Besides establishing himself on the live circuit, Visionobi also presides over an impressive discography, including releases on the mighty Metalheadz, Dispatch Recordings, Sun & Bass Recordings and Soulvent, all showcasing his thought-provoking grasp of conscious lyrical content and his infectiously pulsating flow. His deep musical knowledge and eye for rising talent earned him an incredible 4-year run hosting Metalheadz’ Rinse FM show.
2023 saw the release of his long-awaited debut album ‘Weather The Storm’ on Soulvent Records. The album, the culmination of 25 years of work, boasts a whopping 14 collaborators, featuring some of the game’s most valued and esteemed vocalists and producers. Visionobi’s first foray into the long-player format showcases his talent for both writing and delivery across a whole range of styles and sub-genres from our diverse scene.
Focussing more of his energy towards performing as a DJ/MC, showcasing his album, his mixing ability and MCing prowess, Visionobi is taking things to the next level as well as continuing to host for some of the scene’s most valued artists.

Happy Birthday to my daughter River who is 3 today ❤️
I can’t really put into words how much I love her or how thankful I am for her! She completely changed my life in so many ways and has made me an infinitely better human being. She pretty much saved me from myself to be completely honest.
She makes me laugh so much and my happiest days are days I spend with her. It’s tough not seeing her on her birthday, but we had a really special birthday weekend just gone and I’m thankful for every moment I do get to spend with her ❤️
The bond between parent and child really is the most magical thing on this crazy rollercoaster ride. I feel blessed to be experiencing it with my daughter ❤️
We can’t wait to bring Visionobi to Oxford. He’s gonna be performing his DJ/MC set for the first time in the city. This is one not to be missed.

I’m so good at social media that I’m 2 months late for my “year since my album came out announcement” 😂😂😂
What track was your favourite?
It’s been an awesome couple of years making it, seeing it out in the ether and performing various bits all over the globe! It’s given me so many opportunities and been a truly fun ride!
