Sean Dampte, Don Crucifixto to Release ‘Essence’

From the popular Mile 2 in Lagos State, these two brothers, Oluyole Oluwaseun and Tumi Oluyole, fondly called Sean Dampte and Don Crucifixto, have held on to their dreams in life to be successful entrepreneurs and notable forces to reckon with in the entertainment scene.

The UK-based Sean Dampte, an Afro Pop singer and songwriter, has many hit songs and beautiful visuals to his credit, while Don Crucifixto, also known as Tumcruz, has vowed to continue to showcase talents to the world via his record label platform known as Don Crucifixto Entertainment.

Currently, the brothers are on the verge of delighting their fans from all over the world with a new joint project, entitled “Essence”, an Extended Play consisting of five tracks. The EP title ‘Essence’ strives to bring people closer to who they are as individuals and also as a family. It is to encourage everyone not to give up on their pursuit of happiness.

The EP draws from different genres from Afrobeat to AfroTrap. The EP was produced by world renowned Nigerian born international producer JayOcean, a long time production partner of Sean Dampte and the Savage Music Brand. Meanwhile, the EP is a closed project that has no artiste featuring.

Describing the creative process of the project, the brothers reminisced on how far they have come from the days of Mile 2 to where they are now. The journey is a process, and continuing to trust the process and encourage others, then became the focal point.

So thinking on how to give back to people, they felt it was essential to first and foremost tell people their story, and what makes you tick will be essential.

The EP would speak more to audiences from 13 years, as they feel the message should be better understood at that level. They stated: “We expect everyone to appreciate that everything may not be easy but the focus should remain the same. The drive and passion to succeed must always be greater than the fear of failure.”
