Niniola

By melding sinuous Afro-house rhythms with frank talk about sex and romance, Niniola has established herself as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated acts. Since emerging as a runner-up on reality TV show Project Fame West Africa, the Yoruba singer has become living proof that hard work, determination and creativity pay off. Her 2014 debut single “Ibadi” encapsulates her distinctive blend of Afrobeats, house music and a feisty, vivacious persona. On her 2017 hit “Maradona”, Niniola pushes boundaries as she sings unabashedly about a cheating boyfriend, and addresses the joys of love and heartbreak in thrilling fashion. She works with top Afro fusion producers like Legendury Beatz and SARZ, resulting in intoxicating club sounds that move the body and mind.
