TOBi

TOBi, born Tobias Freestyle Falade, is a Canadian rapper and singer-songwriter known for his unique style and versatile musical talent. He was born on December 4, 1993 in Lagos, Nigeria, but moved to Canada at a young age. TOBi's music reflects his diverse background and combines influences from hip hop, R&B and soul. On his most recent album 'PANIC' he opens up completely, both musically and lyrically.

“PANIC is the epitome of unapologetic soul music and we held nothing back, which I am truly proud of. From the stories of vulnerability, masculinity, personal family issues, social commentary, there was no stone left unturned here. I can’t wait for the world to consume it in full and I hope people appreciate the work and energy put in this because we aimed to raise the artistic ceiling higher than what it currently is.”  - TOBi
