Tolü Makay is an Afro-Irish singer, born in Nigeria and raised in the midlands of Ireland. Inspired by soulful artists across the globe such of Erykah Badu, Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, Asa and Labrinth, Tolü strives to create songs that will forever inspire, heal and touch generations to come as she encounters and deals with and shares challenges and growth in her own life.

Following a string of impressive singles such as “Don’t Let Go” that firmly announced the rising star in 2020, Tolü Makay unveiled her much-anticipated debut EP ‘Being’ last October.

Having used her music for many years as a medium to speak her truth, ‘Being’ hallmarked a significant chapter for Tolü. Presenting her deepest thoughts succinctly in 7 tracks, she drives home the importance of self-love, self-assurance and self-confidence, using her own experiences as a backdrop to this musical journey.

With every release, she continues to get more support, with “Don’t Let Go” reaching #1 on Ireland’s RTE Radio 1’s airplay charts and “You Are Enough” spotlighted by BBC’s Across The Line as “The Best Song In The World” and RTE 2FM’s Tracks of The Week. The past year saw Tolü become one of Ireland’s most exciting emerging artists having wowed the nation with her viral sensation - a cover of ‘N17’ by the Saw Doctors with the RTE Concert Orchestra, performing RTÉ’s ‘The Heart of Saturday Night’, The Late Late Show, and Other Voices Galway International Arts Festival.

Tolü’s debut album is due out early 2021. Witness some of her new songs live at “The Tolü Makay Experience - A Night To Be Reborn” (Supported By Kildare Village), 7pm, Wednesday 17th November at Cyprus Avenue, Cork.
