Legin (Nigel)

Legin (AKA - Nigel Anderson) is a gospel hip hop and spoken word artist, speaker, and podcaster who uses transparency to connect and art to communicate with his listeners. Inspired by his father’s battle with addiction, Legin speaks about fatherlessness to forgiveness, as well as racial reconciliation and urban apologetics amongst other topics, and the hope of the gospel in his music.

Legin’s recent spoken word release Dark Room tells listeners that “pictures develop best in dark rooms” and that “all things work together” (Rom. 8:28) in the hands of God. Legin has appeared on stage with Lecrae and opened for artists like KB, Da’ T.R.U.T.H., Tedashii, Social Club, Canon, Deraj, Aaron Cole, and Flame among others. He has produced and promoted tours throughout the United States and has performed in London, England; Nairobi, Kenya; and Pretoria and Cape Town, South Africa. Through his label Renaissance Movement, LLC Legin released the compilation album Lions in Suits (2016) as well as his Cloud 12 EP (2014), amongst other releases.

Through Expect Renaissance, his non-profit organization, Legin produced Safe House by RMM (2017) featuring fellow artists Sinai and Focus. All album proceeds go to support a safe house in South Africa, to protect children from sex trafficking, resulting in the launch of the Safe House Project, Inc. and a national expansion across America (2018).

Legin recently launched the Fear Not Podcast on iTunes and YouTube, encouraging listeners to go after their dreams and tackle tough topics in the face of very real fears.
