Bouff
THURSDAY, JUNE 12 @ DANCE CAVE (11PM)
Born in Nigeria, raised in the Middle East and currently residing in Toronto — Bouff’s musical approach is refined by his transient upbringing and is honed in on an idiosyncratic take on the ever-growing genre of Afro-fusion while highlighting his unapologetic bravado.
In a city known for its distinctive sound, Bouff sits at a table of his own — a quality evident in his debut EP Summer Nights Interlude, released in September 2021, which received acclaim from respected publications like New Wave Magazine and Replay Nigeria. His sophomore effort, Best Out West, released in August 2022, also garnered positive reviews from LinkupTV and SideDoor Magazine.
In addition to his solo work, Bouff was recruited to work on the soundtracks of Director X’s Robyn Hood and Paramount’s Cross television series. He is currently directing his creative energy toward his fourth EP project, slated for a 2025 release.
Bouff has graced numerous stages alongside established artists like Burna Boy, Davido, Rema, Asake, Fally Ipupa, and Omah Lay. Throughout his journey, he’s been fervent in acknowledging the influences that have shaped his sound — paying tribute to figures like Burna Boy, J Hus, and Western legends such as 50 Cent and the late Michael Jackson.
In just four years of actively pursuing his musical career, Bouff has experienced remarkable growth, accumulating over four million streams across all platforms and captivating fans worldwide. This makes him one of the most promising and interesting artists of this decade.
