More and more Nigerian youths are beginning to take an interest in a career as musicians. In recent times, we have seen several youths become successful because they have chosen to follow their passions.

The likes of Joeboy, Fireboy DML, Teni, Oxlade, Blaqbonez, Rema, and others have in no time become household names in the Nigerian entertainment industry. However, one name has also been added to that list – Töme.

The budding Afro-fusion singer-songwriter who has performed with Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Mr. Eazi on world stages has just been around for two years, yet she is slowly becoming a household name.

Born Michelle Oluwatomi Akanbi, Töme is of French-Canadian/Nigerian descent. Her dad is Nigerian and her mum is from the French-speaking part of Canada.
