The salient points


  • Uzoechi Osisioma Emenike (pronounced M-N-E-K - it's all making sense now) is a British/Nigerian singer, songwriter, remixer, producer, and sporter of amazing hi-top fade action.

  • MNEK's remix and production credits include work with a not altogether shabby list of popstars such as Frankmusik, Diana Vickers, CocknBullKid, War Of Words, Florrie, Duran Duran, and Tinie Tempah.

  • And Olly Murs.

  • He 'penned' The Saturdays' nearly-Number-One single 'All Fired Up' with Xenomania as part of his songwriting day job, and has done some expert knob-twiddling on Little Mix's 'Wings' and MKS' 'Boys'.

  • MNEK is also giving this popstar lark a bash with the release of his first single 'If Truth Be Told' which he originally wrote and produced when he was thirteen flipping years bloody old.
