Tsuni: Vibes, Freestyling, and Making It Up As She Goes
Creative lead: Daniel Anyaegbu, Photography: YMK, Editor: Abigail Alfred


Tsuni, a Lagos‑born singer‑songwriter, has quietly built a nearly decade‑long musical journey. She began recording covers and freestyling during the lockdown before boldly leaving her 9‑to‑5 in April to pursue music full time.
Her sound—an eclectic mix of soul, pop, alté, and Afro‑fusion—is deliberately raw. During her editorial interview with Section Studios, Tsuni reflected on her creative philosophy:
“I think my favorite thing about doing music is using it as a tool… sometimes I like to make up stories. People might call that lying, but I call it songwriting. It’s kind of the beauty of it.”
She shared that she has been crafting music for about “8/9 years”, refining her voice across freestyles and deeply personal tracks. Despite her artistic devotion, Tsuni doesn’t downplay the practical stakes.
She remains intentional about her releases, only sharing music that resonates deeply:
“I like to wait until songs have a connection or a meaning to me, before I put them out”
Even her recent single “Kilimanjaro”, produced by Waveman, is less about chart-hopping and more a hustler’s anthem—mixing Yoruba proverbs, streetwise grit, and ambition turned into sonic metaphor
Tsuni is quietly building—not chasing virality, but crafting songs that feel honest, urgent, and authentically connected to her life and Lagos roots. She’s a creative force who insists on storytelling, authenticity, and vision—all underpinned by hustle.
