  • Dami Oniru

    BioBri’ana Oluwadamilola Oniru-Edwards known as Dami Oniru is a professional Nigerian recording R&B/Soul artist, songwriter, and producer born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in between Lagos Nigeria, and Atlanta Georgia. She is best known for her domestic breakout hit “Iyawo” and her sophomore single “Fallin”, after taking a two-year hiatus she released her debut project “Bri’s Lounge” in 2019. The name "Dami Oniru" was derived from a studio session where she randomly sang her name, and envisioned people singing it back and that lightbulb moment stuck. Her sound incorporates elements of R&B, Soul, African instruments/sounds, with a sprinkle of Trap. 

    Dami Oniru returns to the sound sphere with her long-awaited single  “Soft Life”. After a two-year hiatus, the track encapsulates the rising star’s Nigerian and American roots, while seamlessly incorporating her smooth R’n’B sound. Known for being open, honest, and expressive within her music, Dami uses her voice to communicate words she struggles to say out loud something that furthers her relatability as an artist and an individual. “Soft Life” sees Dami’s vocals effortlessly hop between soft percussive elements and synth-led samples, offering a masterclass on modern-day production technique whilst enveloping it in the organic, timeless quality Dami has made her own, garnering a rapidly growing fan base in the process.
