Introducing “Byou”: Crafting Afro Pop and Writing His Own Musical Destiny
Badmus Akinwale, known by his stage name “Byou,” is a rising star in the world of Afro-Pop music. He is on a mission to make a lasting mark in the industry with his unique sound and captivating lyrics. But, like all great artists, Byou’s journey into the world of music has been shaped by a series of defining moments and influences.
*The Birth of a Music Lover*
Byou’s passion for music was ignited by his father, who was an ardent fan of iconic Nigerian musicians. From the groovy tunes of Sir Shina Peters to the melodious compositions of Ebenezer Obey and the timeless rhythms of King Sunny Ade, the young Byou was immersed in a world of musical brilliance from an early age. This early exposure laid the foundation for his future in the world of sound and rhythm.
*A Name That Resonates: From Bwyou to Byou*
Every artist needs a stage name that represents their identity and persona. Byou’s unique stage name has an interesting origin. In his higher institution days, he was known as “Bwyou.” However, when he ventured abroad to Malaysia in 2014, his friends there found it more fitting to call him “Byou.” Since that fateful moment, he has carried this name with pride, and it has become synonymous with his artistic identity.
*Crafting Afro-Pop Magic*
Byou’s music can be best described as Afro-Pop, a genre known for its vibrant and infectious rhythms. His tracks are a testament to his creative prowess, and his ability to craft catchy tunes that resonate with a wide audience. Influenced by contemporary giants like Davido, Olamide, and the legendary Alhaji Abass Obesere, Byou’s music is a harmonious fusion of tradition and innovation.
*Milestones and Unforgettable Moments*
For Byou, there have been several unforgettable milestones in his musical journey. One of these was the day he recorded his very first song. It was a defining moment when he heard his voice on a recording, realizing that he had the power to create something beautiful.
Performing on stage alongside the iconic Fuji musician Pasuma was another remarkable experience. As he looked out at the crowd and later watched himself on TV, he understood the profound connection that music can forge between artists and their fans.
*Living Life Through Music: “Aiye”*
Byou’s latest track, “Aiye,” is a testament to his commitment to sharing his life experiences and stories through his music. “Aiye” is a reflection of his personal journey, a testament to the highs and lows of life, and the power of music to narrate these tales.
*Journey and Challenges*
Like many emerging artists, Byou faced his share of challenges. When he first entered the music scene, people didn’t always take him seriously. However, with unwavering dedication, unshakable passion, and consistent hard work, he managed to gain the support of those around him.
*The Road Ahead: Music and Beyond*
The future looks promising for Byou. With projects like the “Kulujojo” music video and the “Aiye (Remix)” in the works, he’s set to captivate more audiences and climb the musical ladder. Byou envisions a future where his music transcends borders and tops charts worldwide.
Beyond music, Byou is a family-oriented individual who was born into a family of four, where he’s the first child with three siblings. He takes pride in his roots, with his parents hailing from Osun State while he was born in Lagos. Additionally, Byou is not just an artist but also a businessman, showcasing his versatility and entrepreneurial spirit.
*A Message for Fans and Aspiring Musicians*
Byou has a few words of wisdom for his fans and those aspiring to make a name in the music industry: “Be focused, develop yourself, pray to God, work hard, and be consistent. And, most importantly, always be respectful.”
In the evolving world of Afro-Pop, Byou is an artist to watch, and his journey is a testament to the power of music to transform lives, express emotions, and connect people across the globe.

Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
There’s a hot gossip in town involving an alleged secret romance between star Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere and UK based popular talkshow host, Oluyinka Ayanda a.k.a. Yinka TNT.
According to insiders, friends of Obesere are worried about the potential consequences of the alleged secret affair for his marriage; the associated scandal, heartbreak and the impact on his reputation as his wife was already in the know and reportedly spoiling for a showdown.
Sources said the clandestine nature of the saga makes it difficult to know how long their affair has been going on and how often the lovebirds meet or interact.
Speaking on the rumour, an ally of Yinka who didn’t want to be named for confidential reasons, said “it is not impossible”, adding that though it wasn’t a public topic yet.
“A single lady romancing a married man is part of socializing, especially if both of them have always known and supportive of each other,” the source quipped.
Yinka is a single, career woman with kids while Obesere is married. Thus, a close relationship between such high-profile celebrities who interestingly are also showbiz aficionados, is bound to attract intense media attention and public speculation.
Calls made to both Yinka and Obesere to confirm the authenticity of this information went unanswered while text messages sent to their known mobile telephone numbers were not replied as at press time.
