They met three and a half years ago while doing cameos in Dua’s live-streamed lockdown concert, Studio 2054, and are now working together.
A music insider said: “Gjin really knows his stuff when it comes to hip-hop and grime.
“During lockdown he got really into music production and now he is making tentative steps to work in that field.
“Being mates with AJ has been really inspiring for him too.
“His music is totally different from what his big sister does and will be more behind the scenes as a producer.”

“Kevin Parker from Tame Impala, who worked on Radical Optimism with Dua is another.
