Fido drops his highly anticipated debut EP, Olayemi, marking a pivotal moment in his music career. What started as whispers in the industry about a promising young talent has now crystallized into a complete artistic statement that positions Fido among Afrobeats’ most exciting new voices.
The debut extended play project features a guest appearance from Kizz Daniel, immediately signaling Fido’s serious intentions and industry credibility. The project, distributed by EMPIRE, is already creating waves within the industry, bringing international distribution muscle to what promises to be one of 2025’s breakthrough Nigerian releases.
The EP’s title, Olayemi, carries deep personal significance. Fido’s real name is Awosika Olayemi Josiah, making this debut project an intimate self-portrait wrapped in Afrobeats rhythms. It’s a bold choice that reflects an artist comfortable with vulnerability and authenticity, qualities that have become increasingly rare in an industry often focused on manufactured personas.
This personal approach permeates the entire project. Rather than chasing trends or attempting to replicate other artists’ formulas, Fido has made something that feels genuinely his own. The EP represents not just musical growth, but the maturation of an artist ready to share his complete vision with the world. The release comes after Fido turned heads with his infectious hit single, Joy Is Coming, which gained another wave of buzz recently.
