I was constantly trekking to the radio stations in Lagos Tolu Fame speaks out.

Tolulope Abraham Adesina, known as Tolu, is a singer, songwriter, and music producer. Originally from Ogbomoso, Oyo State;

Tolu was born and raised in Kaduna State in Northern Nigeria. At the tender age of 11, he started off as a chorister in the children’s choir singing at his church exposing his vocal ability to the masses. Furthermore, his unique vocals stood him apart thus encouraging him to pursue a career in music.

In 2010, Tolu auditioned for a wide variety of talent shows including BET Sunday best, Set the Stage, and more.

Tolu auditioned for a total of 6 different competition shows on a quest to take his talent beyond Kaduna.

From one unsuccessful attempt to another, Tolu’s passion and drive never wavered as he refused to take no for an answer. Tolu eventually auditioned for Project Fame West Africa and was selected to represent Kaduna for the finale in Lagos State.  Tolu appeared on the entertainment radar when he made it to the Project Fame finals as one of the six winners on Season 3; thus, this began his musical journey.

After Project Fame, Tolu decided to take the ball to Lagos and see where his talent would take him. This was a low point for Tolu as he faced the industry backlash, the elements of living with only friends to lean on, and the constant trekking to radio stations, interviews, and shows to be heard. However, these challenges never discouraged him from his goal.  

In 2014, Tolu signed a record deal with Alyhills Records and had the privilege to work alongside Don Jazzy and the Mavin crew. 


 


 This happened when Tolu met with producer and longtime friend, Babyfreshmavin, and Mr. Shawn (Alyhills Records’s CEO). Babyfreshmavin and Don Jazzy encouraged Mr. Shawn to start Alyhills Records with its first artist as Tolu. Tolu’s debut single, ‘My Lover’, produced by Don Jazzy was an instant favorite. After ‘My lover’, Tolu jumped at another opportunity to feature Don Jazzy on his second single ‘Ifemi’ released in September 2015 which gained him more notoriety. 

Tolu’s musical influences include R&B greats such as Michael Jackson, Boyz 2 Men, Joe, and R Kelly. Tolu has recently dropped his newest single ‘So Easy’ to further showcase his vocal talent and versatility as an artiste. ‘So Easy’ marks a new beginning for Tolu as he is learning his strengths as a vocalist. 

Tolu continues to push, and this time, harder than he ever did. In His Words; “I have a lot to prove and I intend to do so with God helping me…”
