British neo-soul breakout Elmiene sat down with Majic 102.1’s Madd Hatta to share his unbelievable rise from an Oxford kid with no formal training to working with legends like Raphael Saadiq and No I.D. After a D’Angelo cover blew up overnight, he found himself fielding calls from record labels and carving out a place in soul’s rich lineage. With his mixtape Heat the Streets dropping September 5th and an album on the way, Elmiene opens up about humility, history, and carrying the torch for the next generation of soul.
