Born in the UK to Nigerian parents, he spent much of his early childhood in Lagos and London before moving to the US to pursue his musical ambitions. His music fuses elements of Soul, Jazz, Highlife, Afrobeat and Gospel music with traditional Yoruba rhythms drawn
from his rich ancestral background. To further broaden his creative vision, Siji took to directing and producing videos and documentaries to help bring his musical compositions to life and to share part of his cultural history with a wider audience. His feature length documentary,”Elder’s Corner” (2020) screened at Sheffield Docs in the UK, DOC NYC, as well as the RAI Film festival where it won a Commendation award.
