OLANREWAJU is the debut album from Houston based Nigerian Afro fusion artist AQT, a bold and intentional 11 track project that captures his journey of growth, resilience, and self discovery. Named after his Yoruba middle name, Olanrewaju which translates to “wealth/nobility progresses”, the album is both a sonic memoir and a cultural statement, embodying AQT’s identity and the unfolding story of who he is becoming.
AQT’s artistry shines through in his ability to merge heartfelt songwriting with genre fluid production, weaving Afrobeats, Arabian inspired melodies, and global rhythms into a body of work that feels both intimate and borderless. With carefully chosen features from Leaf B, Leonardo Yukawa, and Nigerian hitmaker Ichaba, the album builds bridges between cultures and sounds, offering listeners a rich and layered experience.
Its pre released single, Outside featuring Ichaba, has already surpassed 3 million streams across platforms, serving as an anthem of ambition and resilience while offering a glimpse into the album’s depth and replay value.
More than a debut, OLANREWAJU is the clearest expression yet of AQT’s sound and vision. Born in Brooklyn, raised in Houston, deeply connected to his Nigerian roots, and shaped by early travels to the Middle East, AQT’s life and music defy linearity. His journey also spans roles as a creative executive, fashion tastemaker, and global cultural ambassador, layers that find subtle expression throughout this project.
For AQT, who began his career as part of the duo GalaktiQ, this album marks the start of his solo legacy and a reaffirmation of music as his true diary and connector. It is a celebration of resilience, ambition, and the richness that comes from embracing every part of one’s identity.
With OLANREWAJU, AQT invites listeners to step into his world, one that is intimate yet universal, ambitious yet grounded, and unmistakably global. This is not just an album, it is the blueprint of the voice AQT is becoming.
