TY
COON

When words fall short — he'd rather dance.

T Y C O O N

Story

Born to
grow great.

Olutayo Oginni — known as T Y C O O N — was born in Ibadan in the early 2000s, the last of five, into a household where music was the first language. Gospel fire early; Chris Brown and Jon Bellion in his teenage years. The collision shaped something singular.

He studied Performing Arts — not just music, all of it. Writing, vocals, and dance became one unified language. He is not a singer who moves. He is a professional dancer who writes, and the difference lives in every line: "I no fit tell how I feel — I'd rather dance."

Under Sintraa's direction, the past year has been the excavation. The result is an artist with the patience to wait for greatness — and the talent to demand it.

T Y C O O N — Young and Contagious

EP · 2024

Becoming
Tycoon.

01
Show You
Devotion · Patience · Romance
The opening declaration. Tycoon is in pursuit — unhurried, certain, building the case with every bar. He's not rushing. He's taking his time to show her.
Ahah ahah ahah eh eh — I'm ready to call you my bebe / Baby please don't give your heart away-way / It hurts me every time you say nay-nay
02
Ballerina
Admiration · Awe · Grace
A dancer writing about watching someone dance. The meta layer is the point. "She do the twirly twirl, I almost comatose." He sees a ballerina and it breaks him — then he puts it back together as a song.
That's my ballerina / I dey hold hands with Queen of Sheba / If beauty was a person / Swear you'd still be her mama
03
Young and Contagious
Defiance · Joy · Freedom
The closer that opens everything up. Love is just one part of life — youth, movement, and the refusal to be contained are the rest. "I be Percy Jackson when I catch my pen / turn very small thing into magic affairs."
Who no know say I'm young and contagious? / Observant and dangerous / Cheers to the ones that raised us
Latest Single · 2025 · The Departure
JEJE
An angry song. A new chapter.
The EP was love. JEJE is ambition. The soft-focus romance is gone — in its place, iron hands and clear eyes. "Ghost bust my past / Never internalize / RIP to my feelings — I ain't got time for that." He wants the bakery, not just the bread. This is what Becoming Tycoon was becoming.
