For Samuel Adeoluwa, known to his fans as Samkizz, music is more than a profession—it’s a way of life.

Growing up in Ibadan, Nigeria, Samkizz found his calling early, following in the footsteps of his father, a gospel singer, who ignited his passion for singing. Now, as an independent artist and producer, he’s striving to make his mark in the industry, overcoming challenges with resilience and a commitment to his art.

A Family Tradition Turned Passion

“My father is also a singer, so I followed his steps,” Samkizz says, reflecting on his journey. Music has always been a part of his life, and watching his father perform gospel music inspired him to pursue a path of his own. Singing was more than just a hobby; it became his identity, driving him to create and share his voice with the world.

Creating His Unique Sound

When it comes to his sound, Samkizz embraces a relaxed, go-with-the-flow approach. “Haaa… anyhow the music comes,” he laughs. This openness to spontaneity and creativity has shaped his unique style, allowing him to draw inspiration from any genre or vibe that resonates with him. His approach keeps his music fresh and genuine, capturing the raw essence of his artistic expression.

Challenges and Sacrifices

Like many independent artists, Samkizz has faced obstacles in gaining visibility and support. Financial challenges have been particularly significant. “I borrowed money from Lapo to promote my track last year, and I even sold my iPhone 14 Pro Max to get money for promotion,” he shares. Despite these setbacks, Samkizz’s dedication has kept him moving forward, demonstrating the lengths he’s willing to go to share his music.

Making Every Moment Count

Although he’s still waiting for his big break, Samkizz finds joy in every opportunity to perform. “For now, I would say by singing along because I never blown,” he says with a smile. Even as he connects with smaller crowds, his enthusiasm for sharing his music fuels his drive, building the foundation for a larger audience he’s bound to reach in the future.

Finding Fulfillment and Joy

For Samkizz, the journey itself has been deeply rewarding. “I’m improving every day,” he notes, sharing that his role as a producer allows him to shape his sound further. “Being a producer gives me more joy,” he adds, as he continues refining his skills, constantly evolving as an artist and a creator.

Looking to the Future

As he gains experience in the music world, Samkizz is determined to stay consistent, recognizing that persistence is key to success. “Consistency,” he says simply, is the plan. His dedication to his craft and his commitment to improvement are driving him forward as he works toward releasing his second EP. However, financial constraints have caused delays. “I don’t know the time yet… because of money,” he admits. Though he’s still working on himself, he remains open to future collaborations, envisioning the day when he’ll join forces with other talented artists.

A Message to Aspiring Artists

For those inspired by his story, Samkizz has some heartfelt advice. “First, pray to God to show you the way,” he encourages. “Once you know your way, pray to God to bring you to the world through your way.” His words are a reminder that faith, perseverance, and a genuine love for one’s craft can guide even the most challenging paths.

With his second EP on the horizon, Samkizz is ready to continue his journey, driven by his love for music and a passion that’s unwavering. He’s a rising star to watch—an artist who embodies resilience, creativity, and the unwavering belief that his dreams are worth every sacrifice.
