TolumiDE is a Singer- Songwriter of Nigerian-Canadian decent. Her music is uniquely branded as inspiring & enlightening RnB/Soul/Gospel with elements of Afro-pop world and Reggae which catches the attention of urban youth and adult audiences.
TolumiDE (“toe-lu-me-day”) was created from her name Tolu Olumide, which means “Thank you God” in her native language Yoruba from Nigeria. She is a dynamic performer of Nigerian-Canadian descent currently based in Maryland/DC. As the recipient of 2006 NEA (Nigeria Entertainment Award) for Best Female R&B Artist, her voice carries a sense of new possibilities. Her songwriting and composing skills reflect her conscious and poetic spirit and her music brings a range of soulful inspiration from Afro-beat and jazz to dance styles of today's urban youth and adult audiences.
TolumiDE’s love for Art and Music has directed her path thus far. She drew a lot on the walls in her room and sang in choirs and cultural dance troops during her early education years at Atlantic Hall Secondary School in Nigeria. She originally thought she’d like to follow her father’s footsteps of becoming an artist/architect/engineer but in her final year she decided she just wanted to be an artist. Her journey at York University’s Fine Art program in Toronto, Canada was the perfect place to develop her artistry, “My faculty was filled with art, music, dance, film & television and multimedia specialties, all of which I had always wanted to explore” she says.
TolumiDE became part of an all-female band based in Toronto called -Women Ah Run Tings before starting at York University and her life became utterly immersed into Art and Music. She had classes during the week, rehearsals over the weekend and gigs in the evenings. The four-time Canadian Reggae Award nominee band produced an energized blend of Dancehall vibes, Roots Reggae, RnB, Funk, Rock and Hip-Hop flavour.
The successful completion of her Bachelor of Fine Art Honors degree equipped her with the tools needed in her profession as a Visual Arts Communication Designer. She relocated to Maryland after securing a position as a graphic designer at a television station affiliated with FOX and Warner Brothers and was responsible for designing motion and still graphics, on-air promotions, marketing and public affairs projects.
TolumiDE decided to pursue music more rigorously as second career in 2004 and believes the sky is the limit. Her single “Because You Know” is featured her debut EP album - “Specialty” is on sale and available on her website -www.tolumidemusic.com.
