Gabriella Bongo

Gabriella Bongo is a South London-based drum and bass producer, songwriter, and DJ whose cinematic, emotionally resonant sound is redefining the genre’s melodic edge. A self-taught pianist who began producing on GarageBand at the age of nine, she now studies sound engineering at ICMP London. Her music blends influences from house, 90s R&B, and film scores, crafting soulful, vocal-led tracks that balance introspection with dancefloor energy.

Since her debut in 2020, Bongo has steadily built a reputation for her distinctive style. Her 2024 single All Or Nothing, featuring Liam Bailey, showcased her ability to pair soaring vocals with rich instrumentation and dynamic drum and bass rhythms. This was followed by Someone Else, a collaboration with Australian vocalist Alexander Mills, further cementing her status as a rising talent in the scene.

Bongo's live performances have included appearances at the O2 Academy Islington, Hospitality In The Woods, and a standout orchestral drum and bass performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Her work has garnered support from BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, and she was a recipient of the Youth Music NextGen Fund, supporting the release of her next three singles.

In March 2025, Bongo signed with Hospital Records, marking a significant milestone in her career. Her recent collaboration with Degs on the track Spacesuit exemplifies her evolving sound, blending atmospheric elements with soulful vocals. With a growing discography and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of drum and bass, Gabriella Bongo is poised to become a defining voice in the genre.
