Sef Naqui is a singer, songwriter, A&R, and producer based in London, UK.
Naqui started his music career in the early 2000’s as part of singing duo The Reelists, who were signed to Go! Discs under Ferdy Unger Hamilton. They released a single ‘Freak Mode’, as well as providing vocals and writing on the singles ‘So Grimey’, ‘Haters’ and ‘Broken Silence’ by So Solid Crew.
In 2003, he signed to Atlantic Records via Max Lousada. He also inked a deal under Guy Moot at EMI Publishing.

His time with Atlantic was short-lived however, due to continuous delays of his debut album.
