Nigerian-British afrobeat music artiste, Akintayo Abolaji Adeboyejo, otherwise known as
‘Tiyo Kay’
has dropped a new single titled: ‘Gbe’.
He said it was a special song written while he was recovering from an injury.
Speaking on the motivation behind the release of the new song, he said: “I had an ACL reconstruction surgery in August of 2024 and while I was recovering from my surgery, I hit up my producer Tyemmy and we made the record and it was just off pure vibes.
“I believe it is got a very infectious rhythm and a catchy hook that every music lover can definitely sing along to.”
Sharing details of his journey into music, Tiyo Kay said,: “I realised my love for music at a very young age as I started singing since I was probably 8 years old. I’d sing along to Backstreet boys and Westlife songs. I then started to write songs playfully only taking it more seriously when I wrote and recorded my first ever single “Love You” in 2014 under my initial stage name Ty P.”
Dwelling on the uniqueness of his music sound, Tiyo Kay said: “I will say my sound is unique and I am really looking to set my style and sound apart from every other one out there. I want people to hear my song and say that’s a Tiyo Kay record and not say oh he sounds like so and so.
“I think just the way I compose and deliver my songs is quite different from your everyday afrobeats records. I will urge people to listen to my songs and tell for themselves.”
He however said music lovers should look forward for more singles after ‘Gbe’ as he has more to drop, adding that he is working on an EP as well as a lot to look forward to.
