Deto Black
Logo

Deto Black is a Lagos-born, London-based model, stylist, creative director, rapper, and singer. I became a fan of Deto after hearing her boisterous feature on the Coco & Clair Clair banger “Be With U” and immediately dove into her 2021 debut EP ‘Yung Everything’. Her latest single, which dropped late last year, is called “Drop Off” and came with a sick music video directed by Ben Cole. She’s got a brand new project on the way and another track dropping soon. Lucky for us, Deto is here to tell us what she’s been into.

The Runaways
Not just the band but also the film starring Dakota Fanning !! It was really a big inspiration for my music video for my song G an G. About the all girl band the Runaways, the theme of rebellion and feminism is something that really resonated with me especially because I’m a woman from Nigeria which generally has a conservative  and traditional way of life

Silent Noise by Maryyx2
I’m really loving this album by my friend Maryyx2 titled Silent Noise. We’re both from Nigeria and I really can’t wait till the world discovers the amazing and multi genres of music that come out of Nigeria aside from Afro beat.

Talking to God
My faith is something that has always been really important to me since I was a child. Growing up in a Christian home of course had a huge impact on my life but as I grew up I started to develop my own personal relationship with God and I genuinely believe your relationship with God should be a personal thing. For me it’s been a great inspiration and support system especially in the industry that I’m in where things can feel very uncertain and unsure, faith is something that has kept me mentally stable

Flo the app
I think it’s important for women to keep track of their cycles it’s actually the most useful app ever and it’s super accurate. Periods can be a bit inconvenient but knowing in advance can literally make all the difference. I love anything that makes my life easier

White Rice & Stew
I’m really passionate about white rice and Nigerian chicken stew with a side of plantain I could literally eat that every single day, I know it sounds really simple but it’s just the perfect meal to me and it’s also a really good cure for hangovers
