Afro-pop music star, T-Classic is the newest addition on the roster for Sony Music West Africa (SMWA).
Since he broke into the scene in 2017, Tolulope Ajayi aka T-Classic has had an impressive track record. The 22-year-old singer has grown and honed his craft in the course of his career.
The singer has released successive music singles to an association with some of the industry’s biggest names like Mayorkun, Tiwa Savage, Peruzzi, and DJ Kaywise.
Starting in the Agege community of Lagos state, T-Classic drew inspiration from a wide range of sounds; including Michael Jackson, Ebenezer Obey, and Tope Alabi.
He managed his operation as an indie artiste up until the year 2017; when he officially got into a deal situation with Mixnaija Entertainment. T-Classic catapulted to fame after the release of his breakout single Fall In Love featuring DMW hitmaker, Mayorkun.
Currently, T-Classic holds a record for one of the industry’s fan-favourite singles; Nobody Fine Pass You, whose music video sits at a humbling 4.5 million views on YouTube.
He is also enjoying the smash success of his recent music release; Think About It that virally took the social media space at the tail end of 2019.
Sony Music West Africa’s decision to invest in T-Classic is in line with the company’s mission to present a level playing ground for authentic artistes out of the region; alongside world-acclaimed superstars and also advance his career status into a potentially global one.
A private signing dinner was held in honour of the young star and had a host of industry professionals in attendance. SMWA also revealed plans for a T-Classic EP release much later in the month.
