Moelogo Takes Yoruba Soul to Hollywood With Four Music Credits on Children of Blood and Bone.
Nigerian singer-songwriter Moelogo is taking his sound to Hollywood, earning four music credits on the film adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling fantasy novel, Children of Blood and Bone.
The London based artist has written three soundtracks and contributed to the film’s score, marking another milestone in a career defined by soulful vocals, Afrobeats and genre-blending songwriting.
Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, the Paramount Pictures production is scheduled to hit cinemas on January 15, 2027.
Its star studded cast includes Amandla Stenberg, Regina King, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Cynthia Erivo, Damson Idris, Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, Richard Mofe-Damijo and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Set in the fantastical kingdom of Orïsha, the story follows a young woman’s quest to restore magic stolen from her people, drawing inspiration from West African mythology. The Hollywood milestone arrives during a defining period for Moelogo. On July 31, 2026, he released Yorùbá Healer, his debut album exploring healing, identity and loss through a folk-inspired musical lens.
