Who is Bayanni?
Bayanni, born Oladokun Abimbola Elijah on 25 June 1997 in Alagbado, on the Lagos–Ogun border in Nigeria, is a Nigerian Afrobeats singer-songwriter signed to the influential Mavin Records. He developed his voice in church choirs before signing to Mavin in 2022, and broke out with the single "Ta Ta Ta", which reached number 13 on the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs chart.
His sound is a genre-bending take on Afropop, pulling from soul, dancehall and hip-hop, showcased across EPs including his self-titled debut and Love & Hustle. His feature on Vallah from Cocktail 2 (2026), alongside Harrdy Sandhu and composer Pritam, marks a high-profile entry into Hindi film music — part of the growing cross-pollination between Afrobeats and Bollywood.
