Multi-talented Nigerian-born and South African-based artist, T-Bird is the newest addition to the Afrobeats scene, with his remarkable singing and songwriting ability he has showcased in his recent EP “Trapville”.

The South African-based star whose real name is Tariladei Douglas Naingba started playing drums and making beats at age 11 and wanted to be a pilot originally but went to study quantity survey at UNILAG (University of Lagos) from 2009-2013.

One day, he was in his apartment chilling with friends and there was a party outside school, he went and got interested in flowing beats and dropping bars this gave him a moral boast believing he could get into the afro hip-hop Music scene fully to better his Talent/ Craft and that was how a star was born.

While music has helped him open up and to talk more about himself, T-Bird accepts that it has paved more windows to share things that he could never share ordinarily. “The emotions evoked in me are mostly what goes on in society, love, and emotions and also those feelings that build up in us humans and keep on bubbling up until they have to be released,” says the outspoken afro hip-hop star.

With collaborative efforts from artists like HHS, KU$HWRLDWIDE, Hugoflow, Mblee The Duurt, VINCE, and Odala, he is like every goal-setter, T-Bird has detailed his aim for the next three years, he narrated that he will have to map up his goals for the next three years.

Despite the fact that it is taxing to know exactly what direction to follow. He wants to let people consume something different and be able to lead the scene with his style of hip-hop, Melodic Trap.

T-Bird uses mixes of smooth and rhythmic bars along with pop beats, dance elements, and powerful drill. His lyricism is unapologetically honest, while his sound is heavy and mature. T-Bird’s impressive vocals are soul-stirring and, in some parts, even heart-breaking.

The artist’s hard work, raw talent, and selfless dedication make it impossible not to feel moved by his craft.

The sound of Afrobeats music instantly creates an optimistic ambiance channeling a buoyant vibe into the hearts of the listeners. 2022 is off to a great start for T-Bird, as he continues to spread his exuberant energy into the world through his thought-provoking lyrical ballads.
