Emmanuel Anebsa (born 27 November 1972)[citation needed] is a singer, songwriter and producer from the United Kingdom.

[3] He was raised by his father, Bertram,[2] who was the owner of the Black and White Café in Bristol, which was his introduction to reggae music.

[1] Reggae stars such as U-Roy, Big Youth and Prince Fari passed through the café, and Anebsa grew up listening to artists such as Papa Toyan, Eek-A-Mouse and Peter Metro as well as Yellow Man, Dennis Brown and Gregory Issacs.

[2] He considers his music a form of activism, designed to combat the "stinging crush of white oppression".

[3] He traces his what he terms his "afro-consciousness" back to witnessing the police raids on his father's café, which he believes were racially motivated.
