In the city of Lagos, where music flows through the streets VOYST found his calling. Today, he has meticulously sculpted a journey from an MC and hype man to one of the most influential curators in the Afrobeats movement.
VOYST story is one of the relentless hustle, driven by the transformative power of music to move a crowd, VOYST transitioned from the front of the mic to behind the decks, diligently honing his craft under the guidance of Nigerian heavyweights like DJ Tee, DJ Neptune, DJ Tunez, and DJ Terryt. This foundational training was the beginning of his remarkable evolution.
The rise of the VOYST brand is a masterclass in seizing opportunity. He began on the ground level as a mobile DJ in 2015. By 2016, his voice and selections were captivating audiences on the airwaves during a pivotal residency at Brilla FM. Refusing to be confined to a single role, he pioneered his own show, the TSS CONCERT, in 2017, proving his skill as a concert architect. This set the stage for his 2018 transition into an artiste DJ, where he began lending his expertise directly to music production and features, leaving an impressive mark on the tracks themselves.
VOYST is more than just a selector, he has positioned himself as a vital A&R expert and curator, celebrated for his unwavering support of the next wave of African talent. He is the architect behind the harmonious fusion of Joeboy and Oxlade on the infectious Gbese, the curator of the mesmerizing synergy between Terri and Blaqbonez on Hold You Down, and the force behind his latest collaboration with rising sensation Dai Verse on the electrifying Overload, amongst many more. Each collaboration confirms his impeccable ear and his position at the very heart of the Afrobeats movement.
Over the years as a DJ, VOYST has electrified sets and major events from Starboy Fest to Lagos Countdown, Mainland + Island Block Party, Gidi Fest, Lagos Akoka Carnival and many more.
From the side stages of Lagos to headlining the nation’s top festivals, VOYST journey is a testament to the power of passion, observation, and strategic evolution. He is not just playing the sound of Afrobeat; he is actively in the lab, crafting its sound, one hit record and one explosive performance at a time.
