Rising Afrofusion act, JADANI on parade
Oreoluwa Samuel Olatunji (stage name; JADANI) is a 24-year-old Afrobeats singer and songwriter born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria.
The middle child and only son in a family of five, Jadani’s relationship with music began early. At the age of nine, he found himself drawn to the melodies and emotion of Canadian pop star Justin Bieber—an influence that continues to shape his artistry today. Over time, his sound expanded through a culturally and stylistically diverse range of inspirations including Michael Jackson, BTS, The Rose, Rema, Gyakie, and Davido.
Recognizing his natural musical ability, Jadani joined his church choir, a pivotal step that deepened his passion and sharpened his craft. The experience exposed him to multiple vocal styles, harmonies, and genres, laying the foundation for his versatility as an artist and performer.
Rooted in Afrofusion, Jadani’s music blends soulful expression with alternative grit and cinematic pop. His sound is driven by emotion and storytelling—rebellious yet intimate, vulnerable yet defiant. Through vivid melodies and honest songwriting, Jadani channels inner conflict, love, and self-discovery into songs that resonate deeply with listeners.
Tracks like “Unnatural” and “Love Is a Crime” highlight his core strength: transforming personal struggles into universal, ethereal experiences that linger long after the music ends.
Jadani has performed across Lagos, captivating audiences at events such as the Ikeja-Allen Music Festival and participating in a Guinness World Record attempt for the longest 8-ball pool session, further expanding his presence within the city’s creative scene.
While fully committed to building a lasting career in music, Jadani is also academically grounded, holding a degree in Mass Communication from Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo. With a growing catalog and a clear artistic vision, Jadani continues to carve his place as a bold and emotionally resonant voice in the new wave of Afrofusion artists.
