International award winning
artist Tope Alabi, is Patricia Temitope Alabi, she was born in Lagos State,
but her state of origin is Yewa, Imeko, in Ogun State.
She was born in the family of Joseph Akinyele Obayomi and Agnes Kehinde
Obayomi. Tope was the only daughter among her siblings – she had two brothers.
Tope remembered that her mother always loved singing at home, and she often
heard her quietly singing to herself, even though she never was a professional
singer or a choir member. She said that her mother first wanted her to become a
reverend sister because she had a vision about her daughter being God’s
minister. However, she realised this is not what was meant by these words, and
decided not to put Tope in the convent.
When Tope was little, she
often envisioned herself singing in the stadiums, with crowds of people
listening to her. She started singing when she was very young, and at the age
of seven, she joined the choir in her local Catholic church. She says that she
discovered her talent and passion for singing through messages from God in her
sleep. She also understood that this is what she has to do in life, even if she
has other passions, for instance, acting or comedy.
The singer’s catchy gospel
tunes first gained prominence more than a decade ago, and to this day, people
consider her one of Nigeria’s
gospel music geniuses. Tope Alabi is able to do everything with her music – she
has a unique and recognizable voice, she can create a few melodies by combining
the modern and traditional beats. She has got a few songs in the Yoruba
language to the tunes of salsa, makossa, and hip-hop styles. In general, Tope
Alabi has eight albums. Her first album came out in 2001 and was called “Ore ti o common”. Four
years later, in 2005, she graced the listeners with her next album “Agbara Re
Ni”. In 2007, the third album “Angeli Ni” came out. After that, Tope Alabi
released three more albums: “Kokoro Igbala” (2008), “Kabio o si” (2010), and
the latest one “Agbelebu” (2012). A few of her most popular and bestselling
songs are “E Gbe Ga”, “Mino L’Oluwa”, “Angeli Mi”, and “Olorun Gbangba”. She
has written a massive number of soundtracks for various movie productions in
Nollywood – in total, there are over 350 soundtracks where she is credited as a
composer. Many famous producers and directors in Nollywood always turn to Tope
Alabi whenever they need original soundtracks for their movie. In Nollywood,
Tope is considered to be a trendsetter of soundtracks.
She would be touring cities
