Remember Styl-Plus, the late nineties/early noughties R&B group who made several efforts at staging a comeback but failed?
Well news is that the T in STyl-Plus, Tunde Akinsanmi, is now pushing his new company, BAT Records Nigeria LTD which is a parent company to BAT Records Studios and BAT Clothing Company.
Since
the group went their separate ways, Akinsanmi changed his stage name to
NativeBoy but holds that he will always be a member of the group that
brought us, Olufunmi.
NativeBoy
In Your Eyes (I.Y.E) is Akinsanmi’s debut single which is rapidly
becoming a sensational electronica/pop track worldwide.
NativeBoy In Your Eyes is now ranked #1 on Reverbnation for Electronica/R&B/Pop in Nigeria.
A new single will be coming shortly before Christmas. Stay tuned…
You
will recall that Styl-Plus’ second album; “Unbreakable” did not fly in
the market, and their most recent singles did not break waters at all.
But
they had a really good run. In 1997, Akinsanmi teamed up with
Shifi Emoefe , Yemi Akinwonmi and Lanre Faneyi to form the group
STYL which later evolved to the award-winning group Styl-Plus with the
addition of Zealous Onyecheme when Lanre passed away in 1999 and
Yemi left the band. Styl-Plus have performed worldwide including USA,
UK, Ireland, South Africa, Nigeria & more.
The
Group have preformed with a number of artists including Shaka Demus and
Pliers, Femi Kuti, 2 Face, Jazzman Olofin, Ruggedman, P-Square and
opened concerts for Wyclef Jean, Boyz II Men and Yvonne Chaka Chaka. The
group has received numerous Nigerian National awards as well as
International awards by Channel O, Amen Awards and Kora Award nominees.
In 2005, Call My Name won best R&B video award by Channel O South
African music station.
