Rotimi Akinosho blesses his music with an artistic edge and unparallel showmanship. He has shared the stage with America’s Best Dance Crew and award winning dance team Jabbawockies. He has opened for international artists T.I., Estelle and NERD. He has been recognized as one of the brightest up and coming multi-talented artists in the entertainment industry. In 2005, Rotimi wowed the historically brutal Apollo Theatre crowd, singing his way to first place on amateur night. Following his performance, the New Jersey singer/songwriter/actor/model has achieved national recognition for his powerful vocals and distinctive confidence. With academic ambitions, he moved to the Midwest where he studied at Chicago’s prestigious Northwestern University. By his junior year, the charismatic vocalist became a favorite among students and filled auditoriums to their full capacity to hear Rotimi’s sultry sound. After selling 800 copies of his mixtape “The HG Compilation” in two weeks on campus, he began focusing on expanding his repertoire in modeling and acting. Playing a young soldier in “Salt N Pepper” and the leading role of Julius in the gospel musical “Tell Hell I Ain’t Comin”, Rotimi gained recognition from director Marcia P. Samuel who described the actor as a tremendous talent with vocals reminiscent of a young Michael Jackson. The release of his first single in 2009 of “Beautiful Music” secured hundreds of MySpace and Facebook plays a day and over 29,000 downloads through Hotnewhiphop.com. His video became an You Tube hit upon its release. Rotimi graduated in June 2010 from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in Communications and with a minor in Business. He recently released his new single with Dawn Richard of P.Diddy’s Dirty Money entitled “Already Know” which has reached #78 on the Mediabase Chart.
