Troniq Music has officially unveiled its newest signee, Nelly Baradi, a rising Afro-R&B sensation set to leave an indelible mark on the global music landscape.
With a voice that’s as soulful as it is captivating, Nelly is poised to redefine the intersection of Afrobeats and R&B, bringing emotional depth and lyrical vulnerability to every note.
Born Nelly Toritseju Baradi on November 17, 1999, in Sapele, Delta State, the talented singer-songwriter began her musical journey after relocating to Lagos in 2018. The move proved transformative, exposing her to the rich sounds of the city and allowing her to blend her cultural roots with modern sonic influences.
Before stepping into the spotlight as a solo act, Nelly made her mark behind the scenes as a background vocalist on some of Afrobeats’ most beloved tracks. Her stunning vocals can be heard on hits by Timaya, Peruzzi, Mohbad, Seyi Vibez, and Bella Shmurda—including standout songs like “Saro,” “Chance (Na Ham),” “Man of the Year,” and “Alaska”. She also lent her voice to “Peace,” “Ask About Me,” and “Blessing” by the late Mohbad, earning her quiet recognition among fans and industry insiders alike.
Now stepping into the spotlight under the banner of Troniq Music Inc, Nelly Baradi is embracing her role as a solo star. Her music explores themes of love, longing, and emotional vulnerability, wrapped in lush melodies that pull listeners into her sonic universe. With a growing fanbase of over 45,000 followers, Nelly is already connecting deeply with audiences drawn to her authenticity and rich vocal texture.
Her debut feature under Troniq came on the all-star collaboration “Dirty” alongside Oxlade, Kohdee, and Kemuel, offering fans a taste of her unique artistry. With more exciting projects in the works, Troniq Music is confident that Nelly is not just the next big thing—but a voice that will shape the future of Afro-R&B.
Nelly Baradi is more than a rising star—she’s a storyteller, a soul-bearer, and a name the world is about to know.
