Olaniyi Olufemi, professionally known as SkyBills, is a multi-genre artist whose sound blurs the lines between R&B, Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and hip-hop. Born in Kogi State and raised in Zaria, Kaduna, SkyBills grew up immersed in the northern Nigerian culture but also rooted indigenously from Yoruba. He pursued a degree in Law at the University of Ilorin and was officially called to the Nigerian Bar in 2025.
Despite his legal background, music has always been SkyBills’ true passion. “Before I even held a mic, I’d get goosebumps just listening to music,” he shares. “It made me want to recreate those emotions—I’ve always known it’s what I was meant to do.”
Drawing influence from global icons like Wizkid, Chris Brown, and Olamide, SkyBills developed a distinct style: melodic, soulful, and emotionally honest. His vocal-driven sound weaves heartfelt storytelling with rhythmic expression, often reflecting real-life experiences with a touch of creative fiction—as seen in his breakout song Undo, inspired by a complicated situation ship.
SkyBills’ mission as an artist is simple but profound: to connect. “I want people to relate with me, to feel what I’m feeling, to walk in my shoes, and to visualize my words while they’re listening.”
With a deep respect for African music, SkyBills sees Afrofusion as a supernatural art form. “Nothing is as original as what we do in Africa. Our sound is powerful and limitless.”
As his sound continues to evolve, one thing is clear—SkyBills is growing, both as an artist and a voice of his generation. “What’s changed is the growth. I hear myself now—more confident, more intentional, more me.”
