Funmi’s brand new single “Ololufe” which means “My Love” will be released on May 1st with an online worldwide competition.
Born and raised in Nigeria, West Africa, Funmi grew up with the knowledge that music gladdens
her heart. Her love for singing and lending a helping hand to people from
a tender age of 8 naturally led to an ambition to become a great musician and a
medical doctor.
Today, Funmi is a gospel singer, songwriter and a medical
doctor with an extremely unique, irresistible and simply phenomenal voice. Her
music is eclectic, blending African rhythm with elements of jazz, r&b and
funk. Her debut audio album “ISE OLUWA” got her a nomination at the prestigious KORA Music Awards (2003)
held in South Africa as “The most promising Female Artiste in Africa”.
‘ISE OLUWA’ and other hit tracks such as ‘IFE ELEDUWA’ , ‘AFRICA’ and ‘JE TE
LOUERAI’ warmed her into the heart of music lovers and it put the budding
artiste in a class of her own because of her voice prowess and creativity. Funmi
has performed in various concerts in Nigeria and internationally including
United Kingdom, United States and Canada preaching the message of love, hope
and peace through her music
After practicing as a Family
physician for some years in Nigeria, Funmi obtained a Masters in Public Health degree
with concentration in Maternal and Child Health and certificate in Epidemiology
at the University of South Florida and she is currently based in Canada.
She believes her experiences as a medical doctor, a public health professional
and a musician can be a tool for advocacy and health promotion especially for
mothers and children.
“Ololufe” is a
song which expresses love, appreciation and devotion between couples ,
reminding them about their vows, and supporting them to make their marriages
work hence promoting a healthier community. ‘Ololufe’ is also an inspiring song
to young adults who intend to walk down the aisle someday.
