Biography
EARLY LIFE
Olutoba was born in Itire-Mushin, Lagos in the late 1990s to a Christian middle-class family with a musician father and a loving mother. His father, Taiwo Obafemi, was a choirmaster, vocalist, songwriter, instrumentalist, and music arranger with outstanding experience in gospel music before becoming a clergy. Olutoba’s touring nature during his early second decade led him to stay in many places within Nigeria. He lived for many years with his mother in Epe, where he continued his education and received proper guidance that positively impacted his cognitive abilities and social life. After joining a Celestial Church Choir in Epe, he became more passionate about music and chose to sing like several legendary singers, including Asa, Lagbaja, Oluseyi Sholagbade, Louis Armstrong, and Angelique Kidjo, as well as other Nigerian singers. He started learning to play the keyboard at age 15 and developed into a proficient player despite not owning a personal keyboard. He loves to read, which influenced his writing ability, and he enjoys conversing with peers, which trained his leadership skills and ability to understand various personalities.
