    The Toyé Show ft The Afrobeats Avengers
    Oct 31 2024

    Toyé’s introduction to music was unorthodox. While others in his secondary school joined the choir to explore their talents, Toyé joined so he could enjoy the privilege of dining at the Oba’s Palace. Though a mischievous plan, he was saved from the dread of boarding house meals, all while quietly nurturing his budding interest in music.


    On this episode of "The Toyé Show," we dive into his early years creating music, the pivotal moment he decided to take his craft seriously, and his latest project, "Wahala in Paradise." From his unconventional beginnings to finding his voice as an artist, Toyé shares insights on his journey, influences, and what it means to stay true to his sound.
