24 years old FAVE grew up in both Eastern and South-Western Nigeria and gained recognition during lockdown through her Twitter videos. She is best known for her 2022 hit ‘Baby Riddim’ from her debut EP. Currently, FAVE is in her last year of law school, which has become quite challenging as her profile grows—she even has to go in disguise some days. Get familiar…

Tell me something unique about your creative process.

Any of my songs!! 

What inspired you to make that song?

ME! 

What’s the most vulnerable you’ve allowed yourself to be when writing/making music?

Writing about my personal experiences in my songs, but mixing it with fictional lyrics so as not to show my full vulnerability to the world 

What’s the best/worst experience you’ve had on stage? 

My best experience on stage was my performance in Rwanda in an arena with other big artists. And everybody was singing my song ‘BABY RIDDIM’ word for word.

‘BEAUTIFULLY’.

Adele and all of her albums

What’s the meaning behind your name?

My first name is FAVOUR so I shortened it to get the name FAVE.

Creative Arts or Practicing Law.

What’s success to you?

Success to me is HAVING A DREAM, CHASING IT AND ACHIEVING IT. 

What moment in your life/career forced you to change direction? 

When i realised I could make different genres of music. I used to think I could only make a particular genre but after I realised how talented I was and stopped limiting myself my career path changed. And that’s why I call myself THE GENRE-LESS ARTIST.
