Tracing Tobi Lou and his music career
Oluwatobi Feyisara Ajibolade, better known by his stage name Tobi Lou, was born in 1993 in Lagos, Nigeria. He lived there until the age of 9, at which point he and his father relocated to Canada and made their home in Ontario.
The singer began exhibiting musical talents around the same time as his relocation to Canada, experimenting with poetry from that age. The singer first began performing publicly in his teenage years, engaging in rap battles with other up-and-coming artists.
Tobi Lou released his debut studio album, Still, on May 3, 2019, after signing up with RCA Records. The album failed to chart. Subsequently, the singer released his second studio album, Elements Vol. 1, on October 21, 2020.
In 2021, the singer was awarded one of the winners of the inaugural edition Black Canadian Music Awards, alongside artists such as Naya Ali, Hunnah and Dylan Sinclair.
The award was founded by The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).
