Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, known professionally as Oxlade, is a burgeoning force in the Nigeria's vibrant music scene. Born on the 22nd of April, 1997, in Lagos, Nigeria, Oxlade truly burst onto the scene with his breakout single "Away," which was included in Rolling Stone's 50 best songs of 2020. With a sound deeply rooted in Afro-fusion, a blend of Afrobeats, soul, and R&B, Oxlade's music reverberates with a youthful, infectious energy that has caught the attention of both local and international audiences.

Oxlade's recent releases such as "KU LO SA" with Camila Cabello, and features like "Three Little Birds" with Teni, display his versatility and ability to cross cultural boundaries. His collaborations are testament to his rising profile in the music industry, having worked with global artists like Dave and Africa's top talents like Diamond Platnumz. Despite his relatively recent arrival on the music stage, Oxlade's emotive vocal style and commitment to crafting memorable melodies have set him apart as one of the most promising talents to come out of Africa in recent years, with fans eagerly awaiting each new song and collaboration.
