Securing Stefflon Don for a private live performance
BMC Security team up with Dutch music production company First Day Of Spring, for a private live performance from up and coming Hip Hop star Stefflon Don, hosted at Oxford Street's Flagship branch of JD Sports, sponsored by German sports designer Puma.
Stephanie Victoria Allen (born 14 December 1991), better known
professionally as Stefflon Don, is a British rapper, singer, and songwriter, who rose to fame after her 2017 single "Hurtin' Me" featuring French Montana peaked at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2016, Don released her debut mixtape Real Ting, followed by another mixtape, Secure, in 2018.
Don was born in Birmingham but is of Jamaican descent. When she was five years old her family moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands, (hence Don speaks fluent Dutch) but at the age of fourteen she returned to Britain to study at a London school. She has been singing and writing music since elementary school and at the age of 9 she recorded a "Hard Knock Life" hook for a rapper called Unique. The song was never released but she was surprised to hear her voice on the playback.
With humble beginnings, she worked as a cake decorator and hairdresser before her career in music. On 15 August 2017, she released the lead single "Hurtin' Me" with American rapper French Montana from her debut EP titled Hurtin' Me, which reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. On 29 November Don took home the award for Best Female at the 2017 MOBO Awards.
