Listen to this song from Temilaye titled 'Midas'
"Who
is Temilaye? A captivating writer/performer, he treads the taut line between
commercial appeal & underground credibility. Formerly L Marshall, he
created the No.2 smash, How We Roll (Loick Essien), and featured on Wretch 32’s
critically acclaimed No.5 hit, Traktor.
Born Thomas Griffith, he grew up between
London (U.K.), Fortaleza (Brazil) and Lagos (Nigeria). After attending B.I.S.
Nigeria (with Davido & JLS’s Ortisé), he returned to London for university.
Torn between music and more traditional paths like law or engineering, he saw
compromise in Audio Engineering. In 2010 he collaborated with the producer Yogi
& Wretch 32 to make ‘Traktor’ (which became Wretch’s 1st hit); songs with
Burna Boy, Krept & Konan, Bashy and Sneakbo followed. Signed to Mercury
Records in 2011, he proceeded to work with an A-list line-up including Jerry
“Wonder” Duplessis, Supa Dups, Novel (of Red1) and Fraser T. Smith.
Now living between London and Lagos, Tèmilayé
(which means ‘The World is Mine’) is concentrating on finishing his album ‘The
Amazing Time Machine’; he has featured on records like Synapson’s ‘All The Way
Down’ but explains “I am focussed on further polishing my sound and building my
team”. Known for being able to rock any beat, inspired by everything from
finance to relationships to Friday nights, and with influences ranging from
Michael Jackson, Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill to Tupac, Eminem, Jay-Z & Lenny
Kravitz, his debut will assuredly be as global and diverse as he is himself."
