Nigerian Canadian Singer-Songwriter Artist TolumiDE (pronounced toe-lu-mee-day), describes her music as "Suya Soul" and her debut album, 'My Love' reflects the phrase as a sonic cross-cultural blend of Neo-Soul Inspiration and Afro-pop World music with mainly English lyrics and a touch of African Spice in the form of language and rhythm.
Influenced by acts within R&B, Gospel and Classic Soul genres such as Anita Baker, Sade, Stevie Wonder, Winans, and Africa Pop stars as Onyeka Owenu, Yvonne Chaka Chaka and Angélique Kidjo, TolumiDE has evolved as a Female Vocalist with audience grabbing performances, rave reviews and multiple awards making her mark within the world of Contemporary RnB.
'My Love' is currently available on iTunes, Amazon, and CDbaby.
TolumiDE currently performs locally in the United States and has toured Canada, Africa, Europe and Asia. Notable performance features include:
Early music beginnings started for the female vocalist growing up in Lagos City and singing with church choirs and school cultural groups. Shortly after a move to Toronto, to pursue undergraduate studies, she joined Women Ah Run Tings all-female band and gained immeasurable performance experience and recognition with the group.
TolumiDE lost her mother to Cancer during her final year of studies and gathered up strength to complete her education with Honors Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Moving to Maryland shortly after to be closer to her dad, younger siblings and work as a Graphic Artist for the city's FOX – CW affiliate Television Station did not deter her from singing but fueled her passion to simultaneously pursue music as a second career.
TolumiDE got her big break as a solo artist after releasing her album and the accompanying Music Video, for the title track 'My Love' which received rotation on numerous Urban television media in Africa and Europe and earned numerous award recognitions including Channel O Music Video Awards (South Africa) Most Gifted RnB nomination.
Not resting on accolades of her releases Specialty (2008) and My Love (2010), in Valentines 2012, BET International 106 & Park exclusively premiered 'For Me' music video, the lead single from forthcoming deluxe release. By spring, the nationally distributed single 'For Me' peaked at #42 on Music Choice (R&B/Soul) charts, #32 at Top Indie Charts and #85 at National airplay top 100 Digital Radio Tracker Charts.
