Tuface inspired my musical journey – Artiste

A Nigerian-American artiste, Osagioduwa Malkin aka Oduwa, celebrated the release of his second EP on November 11, 2024. The album release was celebrated with an energetic listening party held at the Sonic Room Lounge in Lagos.

Since his entrance into the music scene, Oduwa has carved out a distinctive sound that prioritises authenticity and vocal purity. In the EP, he candidly shares his evolution from doubting his identity as an artist to fully embracing his unique voice and experiences. “I struggled to see myself as an artist because I believed you had to start in the choir at five and play instruments. I intentionally avoid autotune to allow my raw vocals to shine through,” he revealed.

Citing Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia aka Tuface as a major influence, Oduwa embraces constructive feedback as a tool for growth.
