Wizkid Melbourne
Singer/songwriter Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun (aka Wizkid) is one of Nigeria's biggest R&B crossover acts, having worked with Drake, Skepta, and Chris Brown, among others. He first found regional success in 2011 with the massively popular single "Holla at Your Boy," which appeared on his debut album Superstar. He went global in 2016 after his collaboration with Drake, "One Dance," soared to number one in 15 countries, resulting in a multi-album deal with RCA, which issued his Caribbean-influenced major-label debut, Sounds from the Other Side, in 2017.
Studio Session with Jerome Farah
Making a strong first step for his solo career, Jerome Farah has co-written plenty of big tunes, like KIAN’s breakout ‘Waiting’ and Baker Boy hits ‘Marryuna’, 'Mr La Di Da Di', and ‘Meditjin’. A Melbourne artist of Lebanese/Zimbabwean heritage, he’s also worked with Dallas Woods, Adrian Eagle, and Kaiit. Now, he’s released his debut solo single, ‘I Can’t Breathe’.
All profits from Australian sales of ‘I Can’t Breathe’ will go towards the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service. Sony Australia, who recently signed Jerome Farah to their roster, is committed to matching the contribution.
He’s been at it for over five years, but already racked up an impressive list of behind-the-scenes achievements. Most notably, winning two APRA Awards earlier this year – Most Performed Australian Work, Most Performed Alternative Work – for co-writing and co-producing Kian’s 2x Platinum hit ‘Waiting’.
We've heard word that Jerome has already lined up studio time with some notable artists, but after 'I Can't Breathe', here's hoping we hear and see more of him on the mic as well.

In time, Frost was writing and recording songs that incorporated elements of contemporary R&B, classic soul, funk, and hip-hop with witty, understated lyrics.
