Mostly known for his viral hit “Mary Berry,” Niko B (born Tom Austin in 2001) is a British rapper and social media star who took his alias from the main character in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV. Recorded in just two days, the song went as far as accumulating more than 2 million streams across three platforms in 2019, landing Austin a record deal to release a second single. Conceived as an ode to life in small-town Britain, the track’s name is a nod to the former Great British Bake Off judge and it name-drops other famous personalities, such as Gordon Ramsay, the Queen, and even Afropop outfit NSG. In fact, not long after the track’s release, the Milton Keynes rapper went on to be the opening act for the band during their UK tour. Released in 2020, “Who’s That What’s That,” Austin’s second single, received heavy airplay on British radios, debuting at Number 12 on radio chart show The Official Big Top 40.
