Introduction
Oluwasegun Matthew Obadimu, known as Lilzee, is a Nigerian artist who started making music at 13. Driven by a deep love for rhythm, expression, and storytelling, he’s developed his unique sound: Rhythm and Drums, a blend of Afrobeat-inspired percussion and soulful melodies.
About Me
I’m Lilzee, a Nigerian artist who began making music at 13. Music isn’t just a career; it’s my language, my way of connecting and challenging norms. My goal is to create songs that move you, leave a lasting impression, and push sonic boundaries.
Musical Journey
My musical journey started at 13, discovering music’s expressive power. What began as freestyles grew into a deep passion. Inspired by Afrobeat and soul, I developed Rhythm and Drums, a fusion of percussions and melodies that tell stories and move listeners. Every step has been about growth, authenticity, and connection.
Signature Style
Lilzee’s sound, Rhythm and Drums, is unmistakable: a fresh fusion of Afrobeat percussion and soulful melodies delivering both energy and emotion. He balances raw rhythm with refined storytelling, blending traditional African influences with modern hip-hop, soul, and R&B to create an authentic, timeless, and boundary-breaking sound.
Notable Achievements
I’ve created “Rhythm and Drums,” built a growing fanbase across major platforms, released multiple well-received tracks, and been featured on playlists and blogs. I’ve also performed live, established my social media brand, and am currently working on my debut EP, “Rise Through Ruins.”
Existing Projects
My released singles, including “Peace of Mind,” “Blow My Mind,” and “Sisi Shalewa,” form the foundation of my Rhythm and Drums style. I also maintain a growing presence on Instagram, TikTok, and Audiomack, sharing authentic behind-the-scenes content and teasers.
Future Plans for My Brand
I plan to fully launch “Rhythm and Drums” as a genre, expand with live performances and visual storytelling (music videos), introduce a merchandise line, and pursue collaborations to achieve a global reach for my Nigerian sound.
Influences and Inspirations
My music is shaped by Nigerian cultural roots and icons like Fela Kuti and Lagbaja for their percussion and storytelling. Modern legends like Burna Boy, J. Cole, and Drake inspire my Afrobeat, soul, and hip-hop fusion. My upcoming EP, “Rise Through Ruins,” reflects real-life struggles and growth, driven by a desire to connect, heal, and uplift.
Discography
My singles include “Peace of Mind,” a soulful track about inner calm, along with “Blow My Mind” and “Sisi Shalewa.” My upcoming EP, “Rise Through Ruins,” will further define my Rhythm and Drums genre with its heartfelt melodies and lyrics.
Upcoming Projects
My next project is “Rise Through Ruins,” a 5-track EP exploring pain, healing, and breakthrough, blending Afrobeat, soul, and Rhythm and Drums. I’m also planning music videos, live performances, freestyle series, and future collaborations to expand my sound and reach.
