“Unpredictable” would be the best word to describe fast-rising Nigerian artist Odunsi . “There’s usually no telling where I’ll go,” the singer casually tellsby phone. In a short period of time Odunsi, born Bowofoluwa Olufisayo Odunsi, has created buzz around his synth-pop-meets-R&B music that smoothly infuses afrobeat production.
Born and raised alongside his three siblings in Lagos, Nigeria, Odunsi’s interest in R&B and soul was nurtured by artists like Sade, Prince, Donell Jones, and King Sunny Ade. He would revisit these influences in his 2018 debut studio album,. But Odunsi's journey to stardom hadn’t always involved smooth sailings. His teen years saw him get kicked out of high school, struggling with ADHD, and subsequently dropping out of university.
In those low moments, Odunsi found solace in making beats on his mum’s computer while she was away at work. This marked the beginning of his musical journey. “Making music saved me,” he says about feeling overwhelmed about what to do with his life. “I used it to survive different things and that’s why I did it the first place … It’s a very confusing world. There is so much noise and many voices telling you things. It could get wild for you if you’re not so great and it was something that was happening to me.”Odunsi felt like with every form of success, no matter how little, comes a silent pressure to surpass your current reality.
