Exploring new sounds, “Ku Lo Sa” is a summer infused track is backed with a strong vocal choir melody now characteristic of the artist’s Afropop sound. Oxlade has built a solid profile over the past two years thanks to a pop, colorful yet edgy image, and a fiercely addictive afropop sound.

“Anyone who listens can connect to my lyrics, and in turn, it connects me with anyone who is listening. My music is for people who take what I’m saying personally because it truly is representative of day-to-day life.” [Oxlade]
Oxlade broke out with the hit “Away” which received cosigns by the likes of Drake and Naomi Campbell and was named one of the “Top 50 songs of 2020” by Rolling Stone – making Oxlade the only Nigerian artist featured on that list.

Born Ikuforiji Abdulrahman Olaitan and raised in Lagos, Oxlade studied History & International Relations at Lagos State University. He started his musical journey in a choir and put out his first song on Soundcloud in 2017. He caught the attention of everyone the following year with the release of his first official single “Shugar”, which instantly caught the ears of music fans across the nation.

Oxlade went on to release one of the biggest songs of the decade “Away” which catapulted him to major stardom, getting him featured on many top magazines and press issues around the world. The song was named one of the “Top 50 songs of the year 2020” by Rolling Stones, which made him the only Nigerian artist on the list.

Since then, he is one of the major faces of Afrobeat for new generations and is dedicated to spread this movement. In 2020, Oxlade was one of the most important figures of “Art X Lagos”, a premier fashion show in West Africa that aims to spread the beauty of African culture. Oxlade is also a human rights activist, running campaigns which stand for better treatment of his fellow Nigerians from the national government. With new music, visuals and explosive live performances to come, Oxlade is preparing to achieve his goal: becoming the biggest music export from Nigeria.
