Seyifunmi began his music journey in church choirs and youth bands, where he developed his skills in keyboard arrangement and live orchestration.[1]

Seyifunmi began his professional career in 2015 as a producer under the YBNL Nation record label, contributing to Adekunle Gold’s debut album.[1] His work helped shape the album’s sound, which blended highlife and Afropop influences.

He has since collaborated with several high-profile Nigerian artists, including Simi, Teni, and Davido.[2]

Seyifunmi was the producer of Teni’s hit song Uyo Meyo, which won *Best Recording of the Year* at The Headies 2019.[3]
