My Role As An Artist Is To Speak To Women Through My Songs, And Also, Living An Exemplary Life To Show That They Can Be Whatever They Want To Become In Life. "
Jemiriye's story is indeed an inspiring one, reflecting a passionate journey from the local stages of Lagos, Nigeria, to international recognition through tours of Europe, the USA and Africa. She made her debut as a finalist on the Nigerian Idol program. Her music, characterized by the fusion of traditional Yoruba sounds with modern Afropop and soul, reflects her personal journey and cultural roots.
AS A CHILD, I LIVED WITH MY GRANDMOTHER IN THE VILLAGE, WHERE I LEARNED TRADITIONAL YORUBA SONGS. "
Her songs are much more than music. They tell of her life experiences, challenges and triumphs. In 2005, Jemiriye gave up her singing career, left university and began living in hospital to care for her mother for two years, following a horrific car accident in Nigeria. This experience and what she witnessed during this difficult period inspired her music and the social issues to which she has dedicated her career.
NEW SINGLE
MY INTENTION IS TO ENCOURAGE LOVERS TO EXPRESS THEIR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR EACH OTHER WITHOUT FEAR OR RESTRAINT. "
Her latest track Tule is currently number 1 in the Top 3 Afrobeats hits worldwide on YouTube. "Tule" is a Yoruba word meaning "set yourself free"... as a slang, "get loose". With this new single Jemiriye wants to contribute to the "emotional liberation" of African women.
Feel the rythm: listen to "Tule" on Spotify and let yourself be carried away by the beat.
I believe every woman deserves to be Loved, respected allowed to dream big and have a voice. "
