Journey

Rotimi, born Olurotimi Akinosho, is a man of many talents, a Nigerian-American artist excelling in music, acting, and entrepreneurship. Raised in Maplewood, New Jersey, he honed his skills early, singing in church and performing at weddings, thanks to his supportive parents. His musical journey began in 2009, blending Afrobeats, R&B, and other genres, resulting in hits like "In My Bed" (2019), which went gold. Acting found him unexpectedly, with standout roles in "Boss" and "Power" as Dre Coleman. He credits his versatility to his culturally rich upbringing, split between the U.S. and Nigeria, where summers in Lagos and Imo State deepened his artistic perspective. Beyond entertainment, Rotimi is a father, and a skincare entrepreneur with FAVR, and continues to push boundaries creatively.
