The Nigerian music scene is very dynamic; churning out new artists everyday and making already established acts struggle to keep up with the changes it brings. One of these fresh new artists is Funbi, whose silky voice gives a sort of orgasmic feel to listeners while telling an interesting story. He has a Neo soul/ Rnb meets Afro beats vibe that might be reminiscent of GT The Guitarman we didnt know we’d missed until the arrival of Funbi.

Unrequited love from a secondary school crush motivated young Funbi to start writing poems ( a fact that led to the nickname, ‘Shakespeare’) but it was not until he met Silver Scott that the transformation from poet till artist took place. Seven years as a choir boy in The Chapel of Light church helped develop him vocally and his latest single Hallelujah pays homage to his gospel background.

Currently signed to Top Left Entertainment and a member of The Collectiv3 ( a music inspired movement comprised of singers, rappers and producers), Funbi has already collaborated with other artists such as Loose Kaynon, Ice Prince and more recently, fellow Collectiv3 member, Poe on his romantic song ‘Adore Her’.

Hallelujah, which according to Funbi was inspired by his own battles, is a beautiful inspirational song about overcoming your struggles; perfect for starting the day with. Produced by yet another Colectiv3 member, Ikon, the song was released on September 5th and is a follow up track to his previous single ‘Forbidden fruit’.This song is second in line of what is promising to be a successful career in the future Nigerian music industry.
