Mo Adeniran is a singer of both English and Gambian descent. He rose to fame after winning the sixth series of The Voice UK, where he won a recording contract with Polydor Records.
Adeniran was born in London and is of Gambian descent. He was taken into foster care at the age of three until he was taken away from his foster mother, who was physically abusive; he would later credit this as making him a stronger musician. Before auditioning for The Voice UK, he was a hotel worker.
Adeniran auditioned for The Voice UK, and joined Jennifer Hudson's team, after receiving a turn from each coach. He won his battle round against Diamond, and later went through to the live shows after succeeding in the live knockouts. He was automatically safe in the first two live shows, and was announced as the winner in the grand final on 2 April 2017.
