Unlike studio-recorded music, live performances allow the artiste to have real-time interpretation, improvisation, and audience engagement as the performer brings emotion, energy, and individuality to his audience. Highlife and Inspirational Artiste, Biyi Samuel has been able to define his career on this path earning the love and ears of his fans over the years. Whether in Africa, across Europe or the world at large, he has continued to spread his impact to thousands. 

On what inspired his journey as an artiste, he disclosed that, “I would simply say that my background has a huge impact on my music. As becoming a successful artiste goes beyond technical skill because you need to know how to connect with your audience through body language, movement, and charisma. This is crucial in my kind of music where the goal is to inspire.”

The growth and impact of Biyi Samuel over the years can be attributed to a lot of factors but one major aspect of this is his June 20 Crew which has been instrumental to his development and success. 

He discloses, “The truth is that “Teamwork” produces greater results so I enjoy working with my band so much. In addition to that, what a talking drummer can do I can not do so bringing people together in different capacities for a common purpose makes it easier and meaningful.”

Biyi’s music is always a blend of rich African rhythms with soulful melodies that resonates with listeners. His compositions are drawn from traditional highlife, juju and inspirational elements to maintain cultural authenticity while appealing to a global audience. One thing that can’t be taken off the prolific artiste is his lyrical mastery which is interpreted in his songs which are uplifting, seasoned with messages of hope and love. 

With highlife and inspirational music gaining international recognition, Biyi Samuel and his crew remains dedicated to doing their performances with the purest of hearts, lyrical impact and a drive to stay committed.
