TK is a dynamic Afrosoul/Jazz fusion artist who blends an amalgamation of sister genres – Neosoul, Gospel, R&B, Jazz, & Afrobeats, to create a captivating musical performance for listeners. Hailing from Nigeria, TK is deeply connected to rhythm and simultaneously sings and plays the drums on stage, to create a unique live feel. Joining him on stage are four incredible musicians, Alvin Mwanicky on Guitar, Daniel Sarmiento on Bass, Ill Sash on Keys, and Rowan Farintosh on the Saxophone.
The band’s collective sound derives inspiration from the soul-stirring melodies of neo-soul, the infectious rhythms in modern Hip Hop and Afrobeats, and the uplifting energy of Jazz – sounds from all over the world that create a smooth, silky, and groovy experience for listeners. This artist has rocked intimate stages like Sofar Sounds Vancouver, VEC, Capital Ballroom, and Bully Studios, as well as created musical experiences that left audiences dancing, during summer festivals like the Phillips Backyards, Tofino Jazz, Sunshine Music Festival, and many more.
Recently released, Exercise is the energetic Afropop, Afro Soul and R&B anthem made for a good time. Reaching the top 1% of thousands of submissions, Exercise has been nominated as a semi-finalist for the 2024 American Songwriter Contest.
Grateful is an afro-pop, afro-beats tune featuring trumpeter Marc Micu and produced by Jayden Brown and Alvin Mwanicky. Grateful took 5th place, amongst hundreds of submissions, for Unsigned BC’s 2024 “BC’s Song of the Summer” award.
‘Strawberry Bounce’ is a collaboration with producers/musicians, Alvin Mwanicky and Jayden Brown. Strawberry Bounce has been featured on CBC Radio’s It’s Vibin’ and Vancouver’s Co-op Radio’s Urban Renewal project.
