Philadelphia rapper, songwriter, and producer Tunji Ige (born Olatunji Ige) began creating music while he was just a teenager with a laptop "in a basement in Pennsylvania." Inspired by rappers like Kanye West, Kid Cudi, , DMX, and Jay-Z, the soul of Donny Hathaway, and the Afro-beat of Fela Kuti, the latter a direct nod to his Nigerian parents and 1st generation Nigerian American upbringing. On his breakthrough 2014 single, "Day2Day," he wove these varied influences into a viral hit that transformed a trap-influenced rap track into a progressive house anthem. Released while he was still a student at West Chester University, the song appeared on his self-produced debut mixtape, The Love Project, a coming-of-age story that focused on topics like relationships, rebellion, and social pressure. Due to the critical acclaim from his mixtape Ige signed a deal to Atlantic Records later that year. In 2016, Ige issued Missed Calls, which was co produced by Noah Breakfast (Chiddy Bang). With viral hits such as “On My Grind” Tunji later went on to produce/ co write Location by Khalid and ended his tenure at Atlantic to focus on production and other creative endeavors. Ige now re-emerging where he left off as an artist with his own production company / brand “Proper Enjoyment” distributed via The Orchard with his next body of work titled "Superstar Crazy” forthcoming.
