The Sonic Prince of Ibadan, or as he is popularly known, Taves changed the outlook of the afromusical world with his hit single “Folake” which has garnered over two million streams on Spotify alone. But who is this twenty year old taking the music world by storm and should we expect him to be the proverbial candle that burns too bright and sadly, too fast?

Taves born Aluko Toluwanimi grew up on the streets of Ibadan listening to musical greats like Wande Coal and feeling himself to be different just like Wande, a visionary whose sound would deviate from the stereotypical sound expected from Nigerian Afrobeats artistes.

Already dubbed the Nigerian Weeknd, his future seems to be in safe hands as he is signed under BNXN who has already become a household name for his diverse and constantly evolving sound.
