Tkeyz’s evolving career in Nigeria’s gospel music and production landscape

Oluwatosin Oluwatimileyin Akinsuyi, known professionally as Tkeyz, is a Nigerian gospel singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and music producer whose work spans performance, production, and creative direction within the country’s gospel music industry.

Born on May 16, 1993, in Lagos State to parents from Ondo State, he grew up in the Oshodi-Isolo area of Lagos. His early exposure to music developed within a Christian household, where participation in church activities such as choir rehearsals and instrumental sessions contributed to his interest in music.

He attended Central Senior High School in Lagos and later studied at Adekunle Ajasin University in Ondo State, graduating in 2017. After completing his education, he returned to Lagos and continued pursuing music-related work.

As a producer, Tkeyz has been involved in a number of gospel music projects. His credits include work on “Osuba” (2021) by Peterson Okopi, as well as “Walk Away” (2022) and “Idoma Medley.” He also appeared as a featured artist on “Madunile.” His production style often incorporates elements of traditional praise alongside contemporary gospel arrangements.

In 2022, he received the Africa Best Gospel Music Producer award at the CLIMA Awards. The recognition was associated with his production contributions within the gospel music space during that period.

In addition to his music work, Tkeyz serves as Creative Director of TGConcepts, a Lagos-based company that provides services such as branding, digital marketing, and artist support within the music industry.

He has also participated in mentorship-related activities, including workshops and training sessions aimed at developing emerging gospel artists, with a focus on both musical and professional development.

His career reflects ongoing involvement across multiple aspects of Nigeria’s gospel music industry, including recording, production, and creative services.
