Hello, I am Ifeoluwa Afolabi also known as July_xxo, I’m a songwriter specializing in Afrobeats, altè, Afro-fusion, gospel, and acoustic ballads. My writing focuses on rich heartfelt lyrics, strong melodies, and songs that connect deeply with listeners. I’ve written for independent artists and am open to collaborations in multiple genres. My music influences range from all corners of the world from afro artists like Burna Boy, Tems, Ty Bello, Omah Lay, Fireboy DML to latin artists like Jay Wheeler, Paloma Mami, Rosalia and even Arab artists like Zeyne and Elyanna. I'd describe my works as honest, rich, poetic lyrics with soft feminine tones deeply expressed in the vocals with bold productions.
