One Self is a collaboration of like minds. Born within the culturally ric h and ethnically diverse music scene of London and now living in Brooklyn NYC, One Self is the collaboration of DJ Vadim, Yarah Bravo and Blu Rum 13, engaging each other to create a world of possibilities and mixing together a global melting pot of musical ideas.

Vadim's prominent releases on Ninja Tune gave him a platform to develop a touring unit of scratch dj's, rappers, musicians and beat boxers. This fluid group was known as the Russian Percussion and over a three year period, a total of more than 600 shows were rocked worldwide. For Vadim, One Self was a natural progression as the 'Children of Possibility' Album took shape and the unit formed.

The One Self band was premiered at London's famous Jazz Cafe to sell-out crowds, and has gone on to sell out venues including Cargo (London), The Red Club (St Petersburg) and have played at festivals to crowds of up to 14,000, most notably at Hip Hop Kemp (Czech Republic), The Big Chill (UK) and Sonar Festival (Spain).

Vadim's progressive production and adept song crafting is complimented by the vocal gymnastics of your friendly neighborhood MC, Blurum13, and the sultry spoken word of the Mistress of Poetic Invention, Miss Yarah Bravo. The debut album, 'Children of Possibility' has received worldwide acclaim and is still just a glimpse of what is to come from this group. Sharing their passion for life, music and performance with their audience, One Self aim to leave you with a newly discovered skip in your step, a smile on your face, and an elevation of soul.

"Based on the rabid response at Emo’s, where the crowd refused to let the group leave, there’s a segment of America, burned out on recycled radio jams, that’s hungry for both this energy and the sound. One Self is one of the more distinct voices out there, steadily building underground buzz." - Austin360.com
