Aro Kuma is the evolution of British-Nigerian artist, guitarist and producer formerly known as Zero-B1, a transformation shaped by growth, awareness and a deepening sense of creative presence.

Emerging from London’s independent scene, Zero-B1 developed a sound rooted in curiosity and cultural rhythm, blending lo-fi textures, live guitar loops and poetic introspection. His 2021 debut single Oceans (ft. Syauqi Destanika), followed by You Don’t Know revealed an early blend of soul, hip-hop with Afro pop and jazz fusion, combining groove with reflection and lyrical storytelling.

The experimintal The Hi-Lofi Chronicles Vol. 1 E.P (2022) produced melodic lofi/chillhop beats including Everything Bliss, which has surpassed 100,000 Spotify streams. His debut album The Zero Experience, a self-produced blend of Afrobeat, highlife, hip-hop and jazz, earned praise from Bandcamp Navigator for its emotional depth and sense of purpose stating “ The sun-drenched attitude of the instrumental components are contrasted by some serious, heavy lyrical themes”.

This chapter closed with The Early Work Demos (2023), a retrospective release including previously released singles from his early work marking the transition from Zero-B1 to Aro Kuma, where the guitar-led, introspective approach continues with greater clarity and intention.
