Afrobeats is well and truly global, and it is thanks to the talented acts pushing the sound, both back home and in the diaspora. This is true for St. Seii, one of the most exciting Afrobeats acts in the new school. It is a challenging task to push the Afrobeats sound in the diaspora, and still resonate with the audience back home in Nigeria. However, St. Seii does this with ease, and it is a testament to his immense talent and sheer determination.
In less than three years since St. Seii started making music professionally, his career has grown in leaps and bounds, seeing him share the stage with other top African superstars like Sarkodie and Focalistic, as well as UK act, Ramz. He also debuted on Spotify rankings, alongside Grammy Award-winning act Burna Boy, and other Nigerian top acts like Simi and Asa. He has also scored numerous hit records including the fan favourite Eterima; Bundus, Zombie, as well as Cherie Coco. These feats put St. Seii in an exclusive class of Afrobeats acts forming the narrative today.
For St. Seii, music has always been a part of his life. From miming his favourite tracks, as a high school kid in Nigeria to rocking the biggest stages around the world, St. Seii has constantly worked to hone his skills. The end product? Impressive vocal dexterity, top-class penmanship, and captivating melodies. St. Seii combines all these qualities with an energetic personality, making him the perfect prototype for a modern Afrobeats act. He combines Afrobeats with other sounds ranging from Reggae, Trap, Rap as well as Amapiano. Speaking about his style of music, St. Seii disclosed that he does not have a unique name for it just yet, “I’m not sure what to call my style of music yet but time will tell”.
2022 has been the most successful year of St. Seii’s career, with his sophomore EP, BITTERSWEET garnering millions of streams across different DSPs. He also performed at the All Africa Music Festival in Dubai. To close what has been an incredible year in grand style, St. Seii has a new offering dubbed La Saint capsule. Speaking about what inspired La Saint capsule, St. Seii said “It is for the ladies. I really love women, and I appreciate their beauty in its entirety. The songs are upbeat songs that will get you going”. La Saint capsule is set to drop on 2/12/2022.
