AfroBeats Goes Eclectic With The Sultry Sounds Of Strings Courtesy of TyStringz

TyStringz is a son of the Nigerian soil, telling stories with a fresh new Afrofusion style. Where standard Afrobeat is fast-paced, gyrating inducing, and hard-hitting, TyStringz is subtle, sophisticated, and still impactful.

He thrills his growing audience base with soulful melodies complimented by the quintessential rhythms of the continent, albeit a little slower and a lot more heartfelt. His musical ensemble is topped off by authentic heart-gripping lyrics that he effortlessly croons with the skill and prowess of a seasoned musical veteran.

The attention-grabbing TyStringz is blossoming with youthful exuberance, which he consistently wields to achieve his bevy of accomplishments. In no way is he just another Afrobeats artist. When he isn’t busy molding his musical talent or playing one of the six instruments he mastered, TyStringz or Mr. Oretayo Fatokun is a leading Software Developer at tech juggernaut Microsoft.

The first of four children to Dr. and Mrs. Fatokun, TyStringz was always a brilliant mind blessed with an affinity for academic excellence and an innate love of music. He maintained a pristine academic record right up to university. By 19, he graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Covenant University in Nigeria. After serving his mandatory year-long teaching requirement, he enrolled in the prestigious Loyola University in Chicago. Here he attained a master’s in information technology with specifications in Cyber security and graduated Summa Cum Laude at the ripe old age of 22.

With work experience accumulated at organizations such as Youth Opportunity United based out of Evanston, Illinois, pharmaceutical company Roche Diagnostics, and a few other companies, it is no surprise that TyStringz caught the recruiting eye of Microsoft. But even as he flexed his proficiency in Cloud Software Engineering, TyStringz never let go of his first and everlasting love of music. A thriving career at one of the world’s most powerful tech giants may have dominated his time. However, deep inside, his music was just bursting to be unleashed.

When the pandemic forced him to work remotely, he found himself in the unexpected position of having more time. He capitalized on the opportunity, and his music once again breathed life. He has never looked back since.

Since then, he has reacquainted himself with his guitar, has over 100 self-penned songs, and released his debut single ‘Shalaye’ in 2021, amassing over 150,000 views on YouTube. He continues to release new music, with his most recent track ‘Far Away’ gaining an excess of 500,000 views in just three weeks. TyStringz has also opened for mega Afrobeat stars such as Davido and P-Square and is ready to delight audiences with his upcoming song ‘Shy’, slated for release in April.

TyStringz brings to the table his love of multiple musical styles and genres, epic storytelling, and raw talent mixed with work ethic. He is ready to stamp his new brand of eclectic afro-fusion across the hearts of music lovers worldwide.
