Biography
I have written about music consistently since 2007. What initially began as an opportunity to explore a non-literary interest has become a passion for music writing, particularly for Afrobeats, a genre of music that developed as I came of age. I wrote weekly music reviews and feature articles at OlisaTV magazine from 2014 to 2016. Then I was headhunted to write “The Good Doctor”, a weekly column on music for the culture blog, This is Lagos from 2017 to 2019. I co-founded an online culture magazine The Lagos Review in 2019 and have served as editor for the Music section, curating and occasionally contributing feature articles, reviews, and commentary on culture. My essays and commentary on music and culture have appeared in the Africa Report, Chimurenga Chronic, Afropolitan Vibes Magazine, Lost in Lagos Magazine, Global Voices, Music in Africa, The Republic, The Elephant and elsewhere. I have been consulted for music writing in feature articles published in the Financial Times, African Arguments, Al Jazeera, The World and Weekendavisen.
