The Nigerian music industry is no stranger to rising stars, but few artists have shown the resilience and staying power of Rocksteady Raheem Oboromboro, popularly known as Rocksteady. After years of navigating the highs and lows of the industry, the singer is gearing up for the release of a brand-new music video, one that promises to mark a new era in his career.
Born in Lagos and originally from Ijebu Ode in Ogun State, Rocksteady discovered his love for music at just 13. He cut his teeth in groups such as B-CLAN and 2nd Avenue before gaining prominence with the Trybunal collective, performing alongside talents like BlackFace, Mallam Spicy, and others. His path later led him to Hypertek Music, the label founded by 2Baba, where he further honed his craft.
But Rocksteady’s story hasn’t been without challenges. Like many artists, he has faced industry setbacks that tested his patience and faith. Yet, through every struggle, he has remained committed to the sound that defines him a fusion of Afro-pop, R&B, and soulful melodies.
Speaking about his upcoming video, Rocksteady describes it as his “most personal project yet,” a work that not only reflects his growth but also signals his determination to reclaim a bigger space in Nigeria’s music scene. For his loyal fans, this release is a long-awaited reward; for new listeners, it’s a fresh chance to discover one of the country’s underrated voices.
Beyond the video, Rocksteady’s ambitions are global. He dreams of collaborations with artists like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, Tems, and even international stars, all while staying rooted in the message of perseverance that has carried him this far.
With his new music soon, Rocksteady is ready to remind the world why his voice deserves to be heard.
