Lami Phillips

Known for her stage presence and strong live performances, Lami Phillips as a Neo-Soul/Afro-pop singer & songwriter, stage and TV actress has carved out an enviable niche for herself. At the heart of all she does, lies her passion for love, life and truth. 
 
The eclectic performer is not just selective about what stage or platform she accepts but is also careful and discerning when it comes to her music, her scripts and her audience. She thrives on the organic elements and surprises that come with performing with her live band while immersing herself also into scripts of movies and stage projects she engages in. 

Her debut body of work “intuition” quickly earned her critical acclaim in music circles in Africa.

When Lami got to Nigeria, she was suddenly in an awesome whirlwind of musical genius. She first recorded with legendary Nigerian producer Late OJB Jezreel working on the song “YOU”. Shortly after that she got into the studio excitedly with ID CABASA who was famed for his award winning work with 9ice. Word spread quickly in the entertainment circle about a “ new girl with a new sound” and soon she found herself recording and writing with MI Abaga and Eldee the Don. She put together a body of work and titled it “Intuition”. She never saw it as an album but that is what it was. All entertainment and Alistartistes attended her launch. It was clear she had found her feet.
After much success on her "Intuition" album with the hit single "Know" featuring M.I, Lami was thrilled to announce the release of single off her Sophomore album, "Pieces of Love," from which her "Ori Mi Wu" single featuring Iceprince, comes from. 

After promoting the intuition album, Lami took a break and started writing for her sophomore album. She immediately decided she wanted a significant portion of the album recorded live. Several singles have been released from the album including “titilailai” , “Ori mi wu” and “kotobata”. Following the release of three singles Lami shared “the love EP” with her fans as a teaser to the album. The EP, which was made available on iTunes quickly,caught the attention of critics and industry heads causing them to press for the album release date.
