Nigerian Born,US based Tunde Olaniran Nominated For “Artist Of The Week” On MTV Iggy

Michigan-based  Nigerian born artist Tunde Olaniran is currently nominated in MTV Iggy’s Artist of The Week Competition. The winner of the competition will receive prime placement on the MTV Iggy homepage and stay there for the whole week! Voting ends on Monday night, April 11th, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. USA Eastern Standard Time.

MTV Iggy reviewed Tunde Olaniran’s Electro futurism: “ As stylistically and vocally unfettered, and well-equipped with old-school flow and R&B chops, he’s got a classic sensibility. However, he points it in all in the direction of the future with riveting delivery and never glances backward. Part of the futuristic feel comes from his stripped-down, D.I.Y. approach. It feels raw and new because there’s never anything between you and the song. Oh, and the lyrics are deep.”

“I’m honored to be nominated in the MTV Iggy Competition for “Artist of The Week!”, shared Tunde Olaniran. “No matter the outcome of the competition, it’s already a small victory.

About Tunde Olaniran
Tunde Olaniran has been instilled with the infusion of culture, consciousness, and rhythm since birth. He lived in Germany, Nigeria, and England before settling in Flint, MI where he was exposed to urban, folk, and soul influences as well as a strong jazz influence. Weird, soulful, old school, catchy, uplifting. All of these words have been used by listeners to describe Tunde’s style. He has opened for major artists such as Robyn, and had the opportunity to tour Europe (France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia), sharing the stage with acts like Switch, Ebony Bones, Diplo, XXXChange, and Jahcoozi; and making believers out of Detroit metal-heads and Croatian ravers alike with a sound that defies convention. Tunde also performed at SXSW 2010. He just released his single “Cobra”, the lead-up to "Transgressor Part 1," the first of a 5-part album release scheduled for this year on Detroit label Exchange Bureau.
