Notably, Dunnie has made significant contributions to the music industry, working with renowned artists such as Burna Boy, Yemi Alade, and Falz, among others.

Her hit singles, including ‘Overdose’ featuring Oxlade and ‘Already Won’ featuring Chike, have further solidified her position in the industry. Recently, she produced two tracks for Wande Coal’s latest album, “Legend or No Legend,” further showcasing her exceptional talent.

Expressing her gratitude for the opportunity, Dunnie stated, “Being part of the people breaking barriers in an uncharted territory has been a blessing. I am immensely honored and grateful to be part of the EQUAL program, and I hope to inspire more women to know that they too can do whatever they put their mind to.”

Spotify’s dedication to promoting diversity and inclusion is evident through its partnership with Dunnie as the EQUAL Africa ambassador.

Phiona Okumu, Spotify’s head of music for Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasized the significance of Dunnie’s role, stating, “Dunnie embodies the spirit of diversity and creativity that we aim to champion with this initiative. Her story and her voice will inspire others within and beyond the African music community.”

Discover Dunnie’s music on the EQUAL Africa playlist and delve deeper into her journey through the insightful artist Q&A provided by Spotify.

  1. What is that one surprising thing your fans might not know about you? 

I love cars, absolutely obsessed with cars, and I love old things, vintage houses, vintage cars, vintage fashion, old people. The older the item the better for me.

  1. When did you realise that making music was in your destiny and what is your WHY for pursuing this craft? 

Music has always been a part of my life, but it was when I was in university I discovered I could actually make a living out of this, my WHY for making music is that music has been an integral part of my communication, as a child growing up, I struggled with expressing my emotions and thoughts verbally until I discovered music, and it became my safe haven where I could express in songs the things I couldn’t say with just words. That for me is the primary reason I make music. The icing on the cake is when other people can relate with what I’m saying.

  1. Which African songs or artists did you grow up listening to? 

I grew up listening to Asa, Sunny Ade, Fela kuti, Flavour and a few others.

  1. To someone who has never heard your music, how would you describe the sound, tone, and style? 

I describe my music as a fusion of Afrobeats, soul and high life sounds. Groovy percussive beats, ethereal soulful singing and infectious melodies and harmonies.

  1. Any advice for someone dreading following their dreams? 

Starting is the hardest part, once you start it gets easier. Do not be scared of being told ‘No’, do not be scared of the obstacles, they will build your capacity. And lastly, it is a marathon not a race.
