Rising afrobeats artist Meeza, born Toluwalashe Azeem Adumadeyin, has announced that his forthcoming project, ‘Different Breed,’ is scheduled for release next year.
The 19-year-old musician who began his career as an emcee writing rap songs circa 2015, is gradually making a mark for himself across afrobeats’ newest catalogue with emotive releases like his recently-released bop, ‘Yawa.’
Meeza made his debut as a singer in the middle of the pandemic, in 2020. After a slew of cover freestyles which he posted on social media and other promising solo records, Meeza cemented his star potential with his Zinoleesky-assisted song, ‘Gbona’, earlier this year. With his impeccable control, Meeza blurs stereotypes around street-pop, showcasing refined musicality in each song release.
Tracing his earliest influences to singers like Wande Coal, Meeza believes he’s set to make a difference within Afrobeats, noting that “it feels like I am actually getting closer to my dreams.”
While only time would tell if he’s going to stay at the top, he is however relentless in his musical endeavours.
