Guvna being am acronym for ‘Gods Unique Vessel Now Assigned’, is a Christian artist that makes influential and inspiring music. Living in and around the gritty and fast-pace streets of London, this talented musician aims to cancel out the negativity that has plagued this world for years. Constantly being labelled as Gospels Kano and the UK’s answer to Kirk Franklin, Guvna has already made a mark.
Guvna B’s exceptional hard work in such a short space of time was rewarded in April when he signed a deal with Black Grape Productions, the successful label behind MOBO award winning Yolanda Brown, and UK’s premier urban comedian Eddie Kadi.
At 18 years of age Guvna appeared on 2007 MOBO Award winners ‘G Forces’ album. He has also shared the stage with Grammy nominated and award winning American artist ‘Da T.R.U.T.H’ & ‘LeCrae’.

Choice FM, BBC 1XTRA, BBC Radio 3 and Premier Radio are all fans constantly playing his songs.
His debut album ‘The Narrow Road’ has showed his versatility and is selling well in leading UK outlets. Guvna B is a well rounded artist who not only makes good music, but makes good music with substance and relevant content. His stage presence is proven, performing in front of more than five thousand people at the ‘Festival Of Life’, and thousands at ‘GL Live’ to name a few. I urge you to watch this artist as he his destined for success!
