DETIN8

Hailing from West London, Detin8, born Jamel Woolford, has been a force in the rap scene since he first discovered his passion for the craft at the tender age of 8. Growing up in a musically enriched environment, his journey was significantly influenced by his father, a skilled drummer for the local band Icarus, Bob Marley & U2. This early immersion in music set the stage for Detin8’s distinctive artistic path.

As he matured, Detin8 expanded his horizons beyond the UK, performing internationally and forging valuable connections within the industry. His proactive engagement on early social media platforms such as MySpace played a pivotal role in collaborating with multi-platinum producers and legendary rappers, laying the foundation for his expansive network.

In his latest venture, Detin8 is leveraging his vast connections to spearhead Underground Celebrities, UC Records and Aether Promotions. These platforms are not only testament to his entrepreneurial spirit but also reflect his commitment to nurturing the Hip Hop culture in the UK. By offering a launchpad for emerging talents, Detin8 aims to preserve the essence of Hip Hop and ensure its vibrancy for future generations.
