ABOUT
“I have found a way to heal people through music…”
Inspired by his musically talented parents this American-born Nigerian artist who goes by Industry Standard, is truly a multi faceted performer and an international charted artist.
This singer, songwriter, pianist and dancer was born January 17, 1989 in Albany, Georgia. His mother sang in the church choir and his father was a skilled guitarist and trumpeter who influenced his musical gifts by surrounding him with music and introducing him to the rhythms of Fela Kuti.
Fela Kuti, the creator of the Afrobeats further helped him to fall in love with music and had a huge influence on the style of music this artist produces.
Indstry Stndrd describes his melodies as uplifting mid to hi-tempo dance songs. His career as a board-certified psychiatrist stimulates his songwriting by allowing his therapy skills to cast out the shadows from the perils of his patients’ stories and people who may be experiencing the same pain. He creates motivational and inspirational songs that relate to life’s struggles such as being in less fortunate situations or being poor, but more importantly, the sunshine that comes after the rain.
After graduating from medical school, Indstry Stndrd decided to switch his focus to performing his style of music. What this musician loves most about performing is the impact that his music has on his fans.
