Artiste on the Roll - Introducing Mayor Teeshay

Mayor Teeshay started his musical adventure at a very young age after he stumbled on his father's collection of Gil-Scott Heron, an American spoken world performer popular for his acclaimed composition- "The Revolution Will Not be Televised." With music firmly ingrained in his DNA, Mayor's versatility became evident when he started a church dance group called Sould'out for Christ.

Experimenting with all genres of music from rock to rap, Hip-Hop finally hit home after legends like Tupac, Biggie, Bone thugs and Eminem stole his heart away. However, it was not until he copped Drake's 'Thank Me Later' that realization hit him that he could start his own career part in the rap industry. Mayor's throwback rap style reminiscent of Nas in the old days belies a deep-thinker who weaves rap bars just as he designs and codes programs.

In his professional life, he is an accomplished freelance programmer with a BSc in Computer Science at the University of Lagos. He is currently working on his highly anticipated mixtape called Maymix which drops sometime in May with released singles, Mayor's Like(Sampling Nas is Like) and Look at me now (Sampling Chris Brown) featuring label mate Sammy and Knighthouse's Phenom. Mayor Teeshay is currently signed under Bit Bender Entertainment; a label he believes would give him room to grow as a person and artistically.
