Oseni Friday, professionally known as Melomany, is one of Abuja’s rising Afrobeat voices steadily carving his space in Nigeria’s ever-evolving music scene.
Born on August 8, 2003, and originally from Kogi State, Melomany’s journey into music began long before studio lights and streaming platforms—rooted deeply in childhood passion, encouragement, and purpose.
Melomany’s earliest connection to music traces back to his primary school days, where a teacher recognized something special in his voice. She often compelled him to sing in class and perform popular celebrity songs during school programs. At the time, it was simply participation, but over time, the applause, recognition, and love from classmates planted a seed. That feeling of being seen and celebrated slowly transformed singing from an obligation into a deep personal love.
Though his first studio recording came in 2019, Melomany officially stepped into music professionally in 2024, marking a new phase of growth, clarity, and ambition. Today, he stands as an independent Afrobeat artist based in Abuja, Nigeria, navigating the industry with resilience and self-belief. Like many independent acts, he admits that funding remains one of his biggest challenges, but his passion continues to outweigh the obstacles.
Influenced by Afrobeat giants such as Wizkid, Burna Boy, and 2Baba, Melomany draws inspiration from more than just sound. Wizkid’s lifestyle, vocal texture, and global influence on Afrobeat culture shape his artistic vision. Burna Boy’s songwriting depth, arrangement, and cultural impact influence how Melomany approaches meaning in music, while 2Baba’s timeless catalog instilled in him a love for songs that connect emotionally and socially.
For Melomany, music goes beyond sound—it’s about presence. On stage, he describes himself as bringing a unique and different attitude, one that leaves fans wanting more. His happiest moments come from live performances, watching people vibe genuinely to his music. That connection fuels him and reminds him why he chose this path.
He has also come to a crucial realization about the modern music industry: people don’t fall in love with music alone anymore; they fall in love with the artist. This understanding pushed him to invest in his brand, identity, and personal story, aligning his image with his sound.
Currently, Melomany is working on his upcoming EP titled “Sounds of the City”. The project promises authenticity, emotion, and collaboration, featuring artists such as Zyro, Lumi, Rutzy Rad, and NiNi. Ahead of the EP, he plans to release a lead single titled “Rara”, which will set the tone for the project. While he loves all the songs on the EP, he reveals that the track featuring Lumi holds a special place—it’s deeply personal and emotionally rich.
Melomany’s music is already available on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Audiomack, YouTube Music, and more. As he continues to grow, his message remains simple yet powerful: believe in what you want and keep pushing.
With talent, self-awareness, and determination, Melomany is steadily turning city sounds into stories that resonate far beyond Abuja.
