Kele Okereke, best known as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Bloc Party, shares the pivotal moments that have made him the artist he is today, and the songs that have moved him and sound-tracked the ups and downs of his life.

Bloc Party released their first studio album, Silent Alarm, in 2005. The album reached number three in the UK Albums Chart and propelled them to fame. Despite this, Kele continued to study English literature at university. Until the release of Silent Alarm, he had kept his musical activities secret from his parents. Kele has also released six studio albums as a solo artist, and the most recent, The Flames Pt.2, was released in March 2023.

Talking to Nemone, who combines her roles of DJ and qualified psychotherapist, Kele dives deep to share his journey, and reveals how personal experiences and emotions are woven through his own work. It鈥檚 a chance to understand his relationship with music more intimately, to learn more about how he uses sound to communicate, and how he's reached the place we meet him in today.
