About

Taiwo Tinuoye

Independent recording artist and songwriter. Known as TyBlinks. From Ibadan to Lagos to listeners across the United Kingdom and West Africa.

Born and raised in Nigeria, I discovered my passion for music at an early age. I began my musical journey in Ibadan, where I developed my songwriting and performance skills before moving to Lagos to further pursue my career as an independent artist.

Music has always been more than a passion. It is how I express my experiences, my emotions, my faith, and the stories that matter most to me. I write all of my own songs, drawing on real moments and the people closest to me.

The songs

One of my most personal songs, “Without You” (2023), was written and performed as a tribute to my wife when we got married. It reflects the love, commitment and gratitude that inspired the beginning of our life together, and it remains the record listeners write to me about most often.

My released singles are Thankful (2022), Without You (2023), For Your Love Was Created (2024) and Good Life (2025). Each one marks a different chapter, and together they trace a fairly honest line through the last few years of my life.

The audience

My music has connected with listeners across borders, achieving over 40,000 streams on Spotify throughout the United Kingdom and West Africa. That audience was built without a label, without an advertising budget and without a viral moment — one listener at a time, across four releases.

It continues to motivate me to create authentic music that inspires, encourages, and resonates with people from different backgrounds.

What comes next

As an independent songwriter and artist, I remain committed to producing meaningful music that reflects my journey while connecting with audiences around the world. With every release, I try to inspire hope, celebrate love, and share stories that people can recognise something of themselves in.

“The songs written for one person tend to travel furthest. The ones written for everybody tend to reach nobody in particular.”
