British-Nigerian rockstar JD Cliffe has officially announced the release of his debut EP, Misfit, sending waves of excitement through the UK music scene. Known for his genre-bending sound and electrifying stage presence, JD’s first project is set to establish him as a groundbreaking force in modern rock.
Scheduled for release early next year, Misfit is a deeply personal exploration of individuality, identity, and resilience. Drawing from his British-Nigerian heritage and influences spanning rock, funk, and Afrobeats, JD promises an EP that challenges conventions while staying true to his unique artistic vision. Speaking about the project, JD shared, “This EP is my anthem for the outsiders. Misfit is about embracing your differences and standing tall in your truth, no matter what anyone thinks. It’s loud, raw, and unapologetically me.”
As if the EP announcement wasn’t enough, JD Cliffe has also revealed that he will be headlining his first-ever show at Onwards on January 10th at Omeara, London. Known for his captivating stage presence and powerful live performances, JD’s debut headline show promises to be an unforgettable night for fans. The intimate setting of Omeara provides the perfect backdrop for JD to introduce Misfit to a live audience for the first time. Attendees can look forward to hearing tracks from the EP alongside other crowd-favorites and unreleased material. With demand for tickets already high, the show is set to sell out quickly, cementing JD’s growing reputation as a must-see performer.
Leading the charge for Misfit is its first single, Black Dawn. Featuring anthemic guitar riffs and JD’s dynamic vocal delivery, the track delivers a message of hope and resilience, resonating deeply with listeners. It’s the perfect introduction to an EP that blends the energy of classic rock with the rhythm and soul of Afrocentric sounds, creating a unique and boundary-pushing sonic experience.
JD Cliffe’s ability to fuse diverse influences while delivering raw, emotional performances has made him one of the most exciting emerging voices in British rock. With the release of Misfit and his debut headline show on the horizon, 2024 is shaping up to be a monumental year for the artist.
Mark your calendars for the release of Misfit and secure your tickets to JD Cliffe’s headline show at Omeara on January 10th. This is just the beginning for a British-Nigerian rockstar redefining the sound of modern music.
