“Music is the air that I breathe, which is why the EP is named ‘Oxygene’. There’s a play on words in there too, with the Oxy’ being my nickname and with the biological ‘gene’, I’m letting out a part of myself to the world which contains love, consciousness and pain.”

Born and raised in the well-known Mushin area of Lagos and later going on to study History & International Relations at Lagos State University, Oxlade started his musical journey in the choir. He started to put out music on Soundcloud in 2017 and the following year released his first official single ‘Shugar’ which instantly caught the attention of hordes of music fans. Also known for the hit song ‘Sing’ with Fireboy DML and collaborations with acts such as Reekado Banks and DJ Tunez, another breakthrough moment for Oxlade was his feature on the Blaqbonez track ‘Mamiwota’ last year.
