Inja: Human, Artist, Producer, Writer. Spanning genres and pushing art in it’s most decisive of forms wherever possible, Inja is a true talisman of UK music. 
Having honed his craft with poignant lyrics, positive vibes and a unique showmanship. His message has always been an integral feature of his work. Nothing captures this more so than his spoken word features on The Huffington Post and The Guardian, tackling issues from Immigration to Women’s Rights, Inja speaks out wherever he feels.
 Perfecting his flow with powerful lyricism at live shows. His evolution has seen him develop his ‘This Is Inja’ performances where he’s worked out how to DJ, MC, mix, rap and sing all at once. Leaving audiences spellbound by his multitask entertaining skills, while smiling and enjoying himself relentlessly.


Before he recorded his debut album, British MC and poet Inja had a decade-plus career under his belt, a career that had encompassed spoken word performances, poetry slams, creative writing workshops, and MC'ing over a variety of styles including hip-hop, jungle, reggae, and drum'n'bass -- and he was also an accomplished chef. Born Gareth Hue in the London commuter town of Luton, he grew up listening to his parents' reggae collection. As a teen, he moved to the wealthier, predominantly white town of Cambridge, where he faced racism and bullying due to his dyslexia. He escaped into poetry, beginning a lifelong love affair with the form, and began to write his own verses; then he discovered drum'n'bass and was inspired by the uniquely British sound of MCs like Bassman, GQ, and Stevie Hyper D. He began his career with seminal U.K. hip-hop crews Delegates of Culture and Task Force and his old schoolfriend Skuff, crafting an intense, lyrical, conscious flow that made him an in-demand collaborator for the likes of DJs Die and Vadim and led to a parallel career as a slam poet and educator. He regularly hosted the DMC World Championship and appeared at several Hospital Records events, leading to his friendship with the label crew and collaborations on a number of singles by the likes of Serum and Whiney. He eventually signed to the label, becoming the first lyricist to do so; his debut album, Blank Pages, dropped in 2018.

Welcome to Inja you beautiful humanbeans!
