Tobi Peter is a songwriter, music producer and animator.
The Lagos based producer takes musical inspiration from Thomas Wesley (also know as Diplo). Much like Diplo, Tobi Peter makes music across a wide range of genres including Hip-Hop, Dance, Pop, R&B, Electronic, Afrobeat, Alternative, Raggae and rap. He has a strong belief that musical artistes should not be limited by genre, hence, the name of his label, N.L.B.G. (Not Limited By Genre).
Based on his early interest in electronic music, popularly known as EDM, he sought to learn how to produce music in order to make his own original electronic music. After learning how to produce music in college, his initial tracks were attempts at electronic music and he was not satisfied with the results. This lead him to explore other genres; exposing him to brand new sounds and artistes. This experience slightly watered down his constant urge to produce electronic music and lead him to make other genres. He is a member of a duo group named Tobi & the Medix!, a duo that started in Tobi’s final year in college and was made possible through Ibukun Afolayan, a fellow producer.
Currently, he is heavily influenced by Major Lazer, Flume, Sarz, Martin Garrix, Sigala, Calvin Harris, Skrillex and DJ Snake to mention a few.
His choice of music depends on the singer as well the person that produced the song. Tobi is now open to making a lot of genres but finds a way to put that electronic touch in all of his projects.
