DJ Tobzy

At just 21 years old, Nigerian beatmaker DJ Tobzy Imole Giwa has already carved out his own niche in West Africa. His chaotic blend of amapiano, gqom, afrobeats, techno and Brazilian funk is as haphazard as it is energetic, a fresh and frenetic sound known as freebeat or cruise beat. Tobzy's eclectic cacophony of pianos, shoutouts, air horns and drum rolls can be heard on his Nyege Nyege debut 'Cruise Beat Album', but the best place to find his music is TikTok, where local dancers challenge each other to keep up with his breakneck productions.
