ONUR Shapes A New Sonic Identity

London-born artist ONUR blends alternative pop, R&B, and rock, reflecting his cross-cultural identity, as anticipation builds for his EP and upcoming live performance at Colours Hoxton.

T here’s a certain kind of artist who doesn’t just make songs — they build worlds. ONUR (TheOnurShow) is one of them. Set to perform at Colours Hoxton on May 16, the London-born artist is quickly carving out a space that feels both deeply personal and globally connected. His sound moves effortlessly between alternative pop, R&B, and rock, wrapped in a cinematic atmosphere that reflects his cross-cultural journey between London and Turkey.

Recent tracks like “Terrible Friends,” “Free Yard,” and “I Wanna Die Young” hint at a larger vision unfolding through his upcoming EP ’BOUT THE TINGS II’. There’s tension in the music — emotional, cultural, generational — but also a sharp sense of identity and direction.

Highlights:

  • Rising London artist with Turkish cultural influence
  • Genre fusion: alternative pop, R&B, and rock
  • Upcoming EP ’BOUT THE TINGS II’ building momentum
  • Key tracks: “Terrible Friends,” “Free Yard,” “I Wanna Die Young”
  • Strong media backing (BBC Radio London, EARMILK, Hoxton Radio)
  • Live show promises immersive, emotional experience
  • Themes of identity, belonging, and cultural duality
ONUR delivers emotionally rich, genre-blending music with cinematic depth, capturing identity and culture while creating an immersive and unforgettable artistic experience.

“A lot of my music comes from feeling in between worlds,” ONUR explains. “Different cultures, different expectations — the music is where I make sense of all that.”

What makes ONUR particularly compelling right now is not just the sound, but the timing. With support from BBC Radio London, EARMILK, and Hoxton Radio, and a growing audience tuning in, this moment feels like the beginning of something bigger.

“I want the live show to feel intense but honest,” he adds. “Not just something you hear, but something you really experience.”

If you’re looking to discover an artist before everyone else catches on, May 16 at Colours Hoxton might be the night.
