A Deer Shed return of course for OneDa - a Manchester-born rapper, MC and producer whose live performances are as spirited and unpredictable as her sound. Drawing on hip-hop, drum & bass, afro-trap and the vibrant energy of her Nigerian heritage, her music defies simple categorisation — fast-flowing bars ride rapid breakbeats, big bass, and lyrical twists that make each track feel like its own declaration of intent.
OneDa first made waves on the UK scene as part of Manchester’s underground, touring with major acts like Kneecap and Baxter Dury and earning attention from tastemakers including BBC 6 Music and DJ Mag. She’s been particularly celebrated for her Pussy Power EP and recent singles like “Set It Off,” which blend deep rhythmic drive with sharp, self-directed lyricism.
Her artistry goes beyond performance. OneDa champions community and empowerment — she founded HERchester, a collective and space for women, non-binary and trans MCs to develop and support each other in a scene that’s traditionally male-dominated.
At Deer Shed, expect a set that’s high-octane, fiercely expressive and full of personality: music that moves both body and mind, underpinned by confidence, creativity and a refusal to be boxed in.
