Nigerian Singer Adokiye Draws Timbaland’s Attention, Earns Spot In $100,000 US Music Competition

Nigerian singer Adokiye is gaining international attention after reportedly catching the eye of American music producer Timbaland and securing a place in a $100,000 music competition in the United States.

The development comes shortly after the singer released her latest self-titled single, ADOKIYE, as she continues to pursue opportunities beyond Nigeria.

Adokiye has also taken an unconventional route to promoting her music, performing for audiences in public spaces. During a recent visit to the United Kingdom, she staged a street performance outside Euston Station in London, singing without microphones, speakers or other stage equipment.

Her vocals attracted the attention of commuters and passers-by, who responded with applause.

The performance has since become one of the highlights of her international push, coming as her music begins to attract attention outside the UK.

Being noticed by Timbaland could provide another boost to the singer’s ambitions, while her reported selection for the $100,000 competition offers an opportunity to reach a wider international audience.
