Jinadu (Simon Jinadu) is a London-based producer, vocalist, songwriter and DJ working primarily in liquid funk–leaning electronic music. He records and performs from the United Kingdom and appears across solo work and collaborative projects.
Public detail on Jinadu’s early entry into the scene is limited. What is verifiable: he is credited as vocalist and co-writer on “Lost,” a track by Black Coffee & Angelos from the album Subconsciously; that album won the 2022 Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. He has recorded at Abbey Road Studios and has performed live on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2. Jinadu releases and features on multiple electronic music records and performs both solo and as part of The Beauty Room and the live electronic duo Hyacinth & Apollo.
As a performer and producer within liquid-leaning material, Jinadu’s contribution is centred on vocal-led arrangements and songwriting. On credited work such as “Lost” his vocal lines are delivered as melodic, phrase-driven parts that sit above electronic production rather than competing with low-end elements. His studio sessions at Abbey Road and live work with Hyacinth & Apollo point to a workflow that combines live vocal performance with studio production and electronic processing.
Specifics on production techniques in publicly available sources are limited. However, across his documented roles you can identify consistent elements: a focus on clear, present vocal takes; arrangements that leave headroom for pads and chordal textures; and a placement of vocals so they ride over the groove — a hallmark of liquid funk contexts. His live-electronic setup with Hyacinth & Apollo and project work in The Beauty Room indicate he contributes both recorded vocal material and staged performance elements rather than only studio-only output.
Career highlights that are factual and verifiable: co-writer and vocalist credit on “Lost” (Black Coffee & Angelos, Subconsciously), recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios, live broadcasts on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2, and ongoing involvement in releases and live projects including The Beauty Room and Hyacinth & Apollo. Public information about other specific releases, labels or deeper stylistic credits is presently limited.
