Iseoluwa Abidemi (born 18 December 2004) is a Nigerian gospel singer, songwriter, and founder of Iseoluwa Concerts. Her musical journey began at age five when her mother recognized her talent, leading to her involvement in the school choir where she performed both lead and supporting vocals. She launched her first single, Iseoluwa, in 2017 and followed with her debut album Yes I Can in 2019. That same year, the Continental Child Summit and Awards in Africa honored her as the African Music Personality of the Year.
Life and music career
Born in Shimawa, Ogun State, Nigeria, Abidemi is the firstborn among three siblings. She attended Emerald Primary School and later Chrisland High School. Early on, her musical abilities were nurtured through participation in her school choir under her mother's mentorship. In 2017, she debuted with the single Iseoluwa and organized her inaugural live event, The Iseoluwa Concert, which she also presented again in 2018. Her 2019 album Yes I Can, produced by Wole Oni Music Production, includes popular songs such as Mo ti G'oke and Just Praise. To support this release, she hosted the Iseoluwa Live In Concert in Lagos that same year, an event designed to motivate youth to have confidence and remain determined.
Although music is her primary passion, Abidemi intends to pursue a legal education. She acknowledges artists like Aṣa and Nathaniel Bassey as key influences on her musical style.
