Journey
Born on July 19, 1991, in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, celebrated globally under the stage moniker Mr Eazi is an acclaimed recording artist, music executive, and pan-African venture capitalist. He is universally recognized as the mastermind behind "Banku Music," an innovative, mid-tempo subgenre that masterfully blends the rich instrumental heritage of Ghanaian highlife with modern Nigerian vocal cadences and chord structures.
Mr Eazi's creative journey accelerated while he was studying mechanical engineering in Ghana, where he worked as a campus entertainment promoter. His mainstream breakthrough came with consecutive hit singles such as "Bankulize," "Skin Tight," and the definitive global chart-topper "Leg Over." His conversational, relaxed vocal styling quickly attracted massive international crossover attention, leading to high-profile collaborative projects alongside global heavyweights like Beyoncé, Major Lazer, and Bad Bunny.
In late 2023, he expanded his artistic boundaries with his highly conceptual multimedia debut studio album, "The Evil Genius," which beautifully married physical pan-African fine art with progressive Afrobeats production.
Parallel to his artistic career, Mr Eazi has cemented his legacy as a prominent business mogul. Through his venture capital vehicle, Zagadat Capital, he founded emPawa Africa, a groundbreaking talent accelerator incubator that has successfully launched and financed several top-tier African musicians.
Additionally, he co-founded PawaPay, a wildly successful multinational mobile payments fintech aggregator that processes millions of financial transactions daily across 19 African nations. Under his expansive lifestyle brand ChopLife, he continues to expand into international sports betting and live touring systems. He is happily married to the prominent Nigerian fashion influencer and actress Temi Otedola.
