Deno tickets

Deno Michael Mebrahitu (b. 23 September 2002) professionally known as Deno (formerly Deno Driz), is a young singer/songwriter & rapper from Brixton, South London.

His rise to fame came in 2016 as the viral “singing schoolkid” from the UK culture and meme page imjustbait, doing covers of songs like Yxng Bane’s hit “Fine Wine” and WSTRN’s hit “In2”. The attraction of the viral videos caught the attention of Stormzy who co-signed him and even had plans to get him on his debut album Gang Signs and Prayer, as well as overseas as Chris Brown tweeted about him and gave him a shout out.

After doing a fan-meetup in Westfield, Stratford – Deno met AJ and the pair quickly became a musical duo. They were signed to Columbia Records UK in 2017 and later went on to release hits like “London” & appearing on the hit single “Pumpy” in 2018.

Deno branched out on his own in 2018 after finding huge mainstream success on his track “Advice (Dele Alli)” with Cadet, which was filmed in-between shoots of Shiro’s Story (Part 3) in which they both played antagonists in. When Cadet tragically passed way in a car crash on the 9th of February 2019, Deno released a heartfelt tribute song “First Days” in which he spoke on the guidance & support Cadet gave him.

In an interview with On The Radar, Deno said:

Trust me, you’re going to remember this interview and what I told you on this day in September, 2019. Trust me, man, just wait. I’m going to be like Drake, I’m going to do mad things. I want to headline Wireless because it’s the first festival I did, I want to do Glastonbury no matter where I am on the line-up, that’s a must. Coachella is a must as well. To have a No.1 album or single would be crazy, but they’ll come.

In late 2019, Deno released his first project in the form of an EP titled Eye 2 Eye which featured the singles “Change” featuring DigDat & “Lauren” featuring JAY1.

In May 2021, Deno released his sophomore mixtape Boy Meets World. The project included two singles including “Lingo” featuring Chunkz & J.I. the Prince of NY and “Drizzy”.
