Tolani Fatilewa is indeed an Afrobeat artist from Nigeria, currently in the UK and got his first recognition in 2017, when his song No Yawa was the only African song at the first edition of battle of the bands. Battle of the bands is a competition that was created by Abbey Road Studios. As a music lover, this studio is iconic and this led Tolani to be featured on the metro uk.

Tolani was raised in Abuja and has gotten all his songs on constant rotation on notable stations like wazobia, soundcity and coolfm. He has been on countdowns on coolfm Abuja, which have led to various interviews on the station.

On the 15th of December 2019, Tolani appeared on BBC introducing, a show aired on bbc3 counties radio in the UK where he discussed his career and afrobeat with OAP Eddy Adoo [2].

Tolani Fatilewa has had his music video for no Yawa, aired on trace tv, MTV base and Hiptv. He has performed at events like felabration (twice) and had tv interviews on terrestrial stations like TVC (wake up Nigeria show).

All of these are verifiable, unfortunately, in the Nigerian music industry, it would be difficult to show his chart success on radio (apart from social media links which won't be deemed credible). He is not an A-list artist and there are very few independent artists that can claim to be such, but he has certainly achieved notability in Nigeria and out of Nigeria.

As an independent artist, he works in cycles and he is scheduled to release his first EP in February of 2020 and this will generate more publicity for this cycle
