"I'm British and acutely aware of my Nigerian heritage, and proud of it. Different culture, different settings; when I'm at work, parts of my Nigerian culture don’t really tend to flair up in me. When I'm in a Nigerian setting, I don't feel 100% Nigerian, but feel that may be down to not being able to speak the language. Language is an important aspect of identity. I know who I am as a British man, Nigerian man and a Black man."

"Coming from a Nigerian background means that education is very important. The Nigerian perspective of success is having a respectable or elitist job such as a lawyer, doctor, engineer or accountant; that's the pinnacle of success."

#SoobaxLoves @IOanalog We discovered this dude on Soundcloud a couple of years ago and was hooked from the start. This undiscovered singer/songwriter, real name Ayo Olatunji gives us a cross between an African Frank Ocean and The Weeknd vibe. We currently have this track 'Stay Close 2 U' on repeat this evening as the Djembe drum is hypnotic against the fusion of spoken word from South African poet #LazarusMan. What a synergy!! Grandson to Grammy award-winning Nigerian drummer: Babatunde Olatunji- we are all over his sound! Check him out on soundcloud ASAP: soundcloud.com/ioanalog 👊👊👊 #Soobax #RealMusic #MusicForYourSoul (at www.soundcloud.com/ioanalog)
