5. Music career of Efya's husband
Tomi Thomas started his music career in 2010 as part of a group and the lead singer of the high school collective L.O.S. (Loud On Sound). They released hits like Bad Guy P and On Fire, leading to collaborations with Sarkodie and the Black Eyed Peas.
He went solo while studying in Dubai and released his debut solo EP, Patience, in 2014, which featured the notable single Ready or Not.
Since 2020, he has been focused on reaching a global audience through high-profile international features, including works with Buju Banton and Wale.
"While his peers chase viral moments and streaming numbers, Thomas seems to be building a body of work that will age gracefully. In 10 years, when many of today's Afrobeats hits sound dated and overly trend-dependent, Tomi Thomas's catalogue may still sound fresh. That is how I see him," music journalist Myers Hansen summed up the Nigerian musician in a quick chat with YEN.com.gh.
