About

I’m Sekemi Deborah, a versatile writer, lyricist, and professional backing vocalist from Nigeria. I write original serialized fiction for digital publishing and also create tailored song lyrics, hooks, chorus and verse structures that fit an artist’s voice and genre.

Alongside writing, I bring strong studio and live vocal performance skills—handling multi-part harmonies, top-line phrasing, and precise session tracking, plus ad-lib and background stacks during recording and stage sets. Whether it’s ghostwriting for confidential clients or backing bands and recording artists, I’m focused on consistency, discretion, and delivering polished results.

I wrote this song to a beat i found on on YouTube when i was sad about my life, how I've learnt to stay positive with silly reasons throughout my sadness, losses and even when I don't know the reason for my existence because life feels pointless occasionally. So i made this as a rough demo. Beat credits to GAXILLIC.

I was messaged by a regular client to record backup vocals for their music, later they asked me to drop a verse and this is an unfinished recording of my own verse on the song. Lyrics,melodies and vocals belongs to me.
