Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Ayo_voice
Introduction of the project
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
Listening to rich, classic African rhythms and highlife records playing on old sound systems back home in Nigeria. The way the percussion could command an entire room before words were even spoken completely fascinated me.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
Reply : It started with writing while at High School and got better duing my days at Obafemi Awolowo University(Ile-Ife). Then back in 2008, I wrote a gospel track titled “Opomulero” and seeing how words transformed into a living, breathing soundscape made me realize music wasn’t just a passion, it was my calling. I transitioned into Media & IP development to build spaces where music meets strategy.
What’s the story behind your current music project?
Right now, my focus is a dual-engine rollout . I’m dropping “Be Happy”, a vibrant, family-friendly anthem of pure gratitude and in a few days “Lots of Celebration”, a high-octane, stadium-ready Afro-fusion track timed perfectly to tap into the raw energy of the global football tournament season will also be released.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
It is Premium Afro-Fusion with Stadium Energy. It’s a clean, uplifting blend of modern Afrobeats rhythms, rich brass and vibrant melodies engineered to make you move, smile, and celebrate life regardless of where you are in the world.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
I now build music as a three-dimensional experience, designing sounds to wrap entirely around the listener.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
For composition, it always starts with rich, driving percussion and keyboards.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
Reply : Anyone keeping the music authentic while scaling internationally has my respect.
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
Reply :Growing up in Nigeria showed me the power of collective joy. My vision is to create premium music IPs that serve as soundtracks for global celebrations and cultural unity
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
Reply : Pure, unfiltered resilience and joy. When you listen to “Be Happy”, I want you to feel a weight lift off your shoulders. When you hear “Lots of Celebration”, I want you to feel like a champion standing in the middle of a roaring stadium.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
Reply : Consistency and structural alignment beat hype every single time. Registering your work, building a legal corporate foundation like Amenlla Megatop Concepts Limited and trusting the step-by-step process is how an indie artist turns passion into a sustainable global legacy.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
For now,Performing at a packed 80,000-capacity stadium during a major international football tournament closing ceremony or headlining a major global cultural export festival in Europe where thousands of diverse voices are chanting the hooks back to me.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
Tems (Authenticity)
