Brothers Femi Koleoso and TJ Koleoso have become two of the most celebrated former students of Enfield Grammar School (late 2000s and early 2010s), rising from the school’s music rooms to international stages with the award-winning jazz group Ezra Collective.

Growing up in Enfield in a Nigerian-British family, the brothers were heavily involved in music from a young age, playing in church bands and immersing themselves in jazz, reggae, afrobeat and soul. While at Enfield Grammar School, they became central figures in the music department, performing in several school bands and famously winning the school’s “Battle of the Bands” competition three years in a row. Their music teacher, Malcolm Escott, played a key role in nurturing their talent and encouraging them to explore a wide range of musical influences. (Enfield Grammar School)

Femi developed into an exceptional drummer, while TJ found his passion on bass guitar. Through the youth music organisation Tomorrow’s Warriors, the brothers met other young musicians who would later form Ezra Collective. The band blended jazz with afrobeat, hip hop, reggae and soul, creating an energetic sound that helped redefine modern British jazz. (Wikipedia)

Since leaving school, their success has been extraordinary. Ezra Collective released acclaimed albums including You Can’t Steal My Joy, Where I’m Meant To Be and Dance, No One’s Watching. In 2023 they made history as the first jazz group ever to win the Mercury Prize, before later winning Group of the Year at the Brit Awards. The band has performed at major festivals including Glastonbury Festival and sold out iconic venues such as Royal Albert Hall. (Enfield Dispatch)

Despite their international success, Femi and TJ remain deeply connected to their roots and to Enfield Grammar School. They regularly speak about the importance of music education and youth opportunities, and have donated instruments back to the school, helping to inspire the next generation of musicians.
