Artist: Tolü Makay
Nigerian-Irish singer & songwriter Tolü Makay returns with her new single, 'Mind & Body,' out on all streaming platforms now. “Mind & Body” was co-written with and produced by Steph Marziano (Hayley Williams, Odesza) and mixed by Dan Grech-Marguerat (Lana Del Rey, MUNA, George Ezra).
Moving from Nigeria to Ireland at the age of five, Tolü found solace in music as a young girl navigating life in a new country. Music was a way for her to make sense of her emotions, discover her identity, and connect with a wider community. She began singing in church at the age of 8, which led her to enter and subsequently win a national gospel singing competition as a teen.
Tolü strives to create songs that will forever inspire, heal and touch generations to come as she encounters and shares the challenges she faces and growth she experiences in her own life. One of her earliest singles, “Goodbye,” became anthemic across the UK and Ireland, amassing over 2 million streams and counting. With her subsequent singles, she has continued to capture the hearts of listeners everywhere, cementing herself as a strong voice for Black women and artists.
Her first single of 2024, ;Mind & Body,' kicks off what is sure to be an exciting year of new music and new experiences for Tolü. On March 1st, she made her debut on RTÉ One’s The Late Late Show, one of the world’s longest running late-night shows. She will then be heading stateside to perform for The Ireland Funds at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
