Olistar is the moniker of Olisa Franklin Emodi, a Nigerian performer from Onitsha that is showcases a Drill sound like no other. Growing up watching his mother’s band perform combined with his passion for 90s hip-hop and heroes such as Biggie Smalls, Bob Marley and Fela, his passion for music takes inspiration from everywhere. Atmospheric synths, straight-talking bars and hard-hitting drums are all present on “Bando Baby.”
Olistar shares: “Coming from my city Onitsha, Nigeria, I feel the need to advocate for the youths in the world because I got first hand hood life, and making it to this point I know a lot of youths need to see the light at the end of every tunnel and that will send a great wide wave of hope across the world.”
Olistar is also currently gearing up for a 2023 European tour.
