Fidi

Fido, born Awosika Olayemi Josiah in Matogun, Ogun State, Nigeria, is a rising star in the Afrofusion and Afrobeat music scene. He discovered his passion for music early on through his local church choir and drew inspiration from Nigerian legends like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as well as contemporary acts such as Olamide and Kizz Daniel. His sound is a vibrant mix of Afrobeats, trap, R&B, and dancehall, reflecting both traditional African culture and modern musical trends. Fido’s journey from a small-town upbringing to becoming a notable independent artist is a story of resilience and determination, supported by his education at the PEFTI Film Institute which honed his musical skills.

Fido’s music connects deeply with themes of personal freedom and hope, exemplified by his viral anthem "Joy is Coming" and debut single "Awolowo," which celebrates youth and escape inspired by the famed Awolowo Road in Ikoyi. Known for his unique vocal delivery and ability to blend diverse genres seamlessly, he is quickly carving out a prominent place in Nigeria’s vibrant music landscape. His stage name has a playful origin from his secondary school days, showing his down-to-earth personality behind the rising fame.
