Fido Unveils Soulful Debut EP “Olayemi” — A Tribute to His Roots and Rise
Nigerian rising star Fido has officially released his highly anticipated debut extended play, “Olayemi”—a deeply personal and sonically rich project that introduces him as one of Africa’s most compelling new voices.
“‘Olayemi’ is more than my name; it is my truth and my offering to the world,” Fido shared. “This EP is rooted in my story, my spirit, and the sounds of Matogun.” From start to finish, the eight-track body of work reflects his journey from his neighborhood beginnings to his emergence as a globally recognized artist.
Infused with themes of love, ambition, resilience, and self-discovery, “Olayemi” showcases Fido’s smooth, expressive vocals and gift for honest storytelling. The EP blends modern Afrobeat elements with traditional textures, revealing the many layers of African music still waiting to be uncovered.
A major highlight on the project is the remix of his breakout single “Joy is Coming” featuring Afrobeat heavyweight Kizz Daniel, adding star power and a fresh dimension to an already inspiring anthem. The EP also includes earlier fan-favorite singles, “Joy is Coming” and “Money Moves,” which helped build anticipation for this release.
“Olayemi” isn’t just an introduction—it’s a statement. With this debut, Fido boldly steps into the spotlight, offering a project that’s as vulnerable as it is triumphant, and as local as it is universal.
