Raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Oluwafemi says Fela Kuti and musicians from all genres of African music are the foundation of his sound. But he also loves American soul and hip-hop, from James Brown to The Roots. For all his international background, Philly remains his magical place, without pretension, that “feeds artists’ souls” and values hard work. At JG SkyHigh, Olatunji’s chilled and funky selections from a variety of eras take the audience “on a groovy trip through the African diaspora.” For all the beauty of the setting, however, he also cites the staff for creating the welcoming atmosphere that sets JG SkyHigh apart from other venues.
