“My sound is just afro soul, some Fela Kuti vibe, some Islamic vibe, some celestial thing. It’s a mixture of a lot of things.”
The fast-rising artist whose 2022 album ‘Billion Dollar Baby‘ rocketed him to mainstream attention stated that he makes conscious music and this is an element he still retains even with his infusion of South African Amapiano style.
“I would describe my sound [as] Afro-soul.
I do conscious music a lot, anyone that knows Seyi Vibez knows me with a lot of conscious sounds, so when I started doing the South African Amapiano to my fusion, I started putting my conscious sound on it, even though there are fast beats, there are slow beats, I started adding my conscious sounds to it so that makes it more of my genre.”

“From Burna Boy, it’s the biggest motivation I have now. Up to now.
It’s the biggest motivation, like “Seyi don’t stop, just keep up.
They insult you, they like you or not, don’t stop! Just keep moving.”
