Journey
Olatunji Gbolahan Sulaimon, better known as Abanny, is a prominent figure in the Nigerian music landscape, combining lyrical dexterity with the rich soundscapes of Afrobeats. Raised in Lagos after being born in Ogun State, Abanny's affinity for music blossomed through his admiration for Nigerian hip-hop icon Olamide. This admiration translated into a career shift in 2015 when Abanny, originally drawn solely to rap, embraced the rhythmic allure of Afrobeats, inspired by Olamide's influential adaptability.
2019 marked a significant chapter for Abanny with the release of "Insta Lover," accompanied by his first music video, both of which underscored his evolving artistry. In pursuit of a wider audience, he transitioned from his previous moniker, Gbollycoded, to the more universally appealing Abanny in 2020.
As the innovative force behind NFK Nation (Not For Kids), Abanny has carved out a distinctive path as an independent artist, focusing on authentic musical expression and remaining a compelling voice among Nigeria's contemporary artists. His journey echoes the rich musical traditions of his homeland while bringing fresh narratives to the global stage.
