Seun Kuti is a Nigerian musician, singer, songwriter, saxophonist, and activist, best known as the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti and the leader of his legendary band, Egypt 80. Having joined the band before the age of 12, Seun took over leadership in 1997 following his father's passing and has spent his career preserving and expanding Fela's musical and political legacy through powerful performances and socially conscious music.

Beyond music, Seun is an outspoken pan-African activist who has participated in major social movements including #OccupyNigeria and #EndSARS, and has revived his father's political party, the Movement of the People (M.O.P.).

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80's latest album, Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head), was released in October 2024 and executive produced by Lenny Kravitz. The critically acclaimed project features collaborations with Damian Marley and Sampa The Great, while the 2025 deluxe edition expanded the album with contributions from artists including Kamasi Washington, Posdnuos (De La Soul), Adi Oasis, and others.

Over his career, Seun has released multiple albums with Egypt 80, including Many Things, From Africa with Fury: Rise (co-produced by Brian Eno), A Long Way Beginning, and the Grammy-nominated Black Times, which featured Carlos Santana. He has also collaborated with artists such as Black Thought, Janelle Monáe, Talib Kweli, Madlib, and Vic Mensa.

In 2026, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 continue their evolution with the release of the new single “NA DEM,” featuring Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine.
