Troniq Music has introduced its latest signee, Nelly Baradi—a dynamic new voice in Afro-R&B destined to make a powerful impact on the global music scene. With her emotive delivery and rich, soulful voice, Nelly is poised to redefine the fusion of Afrobeats and R&B, infusing her sound with raw emotion and lyrical honesty.
Born Nelly Toritseju Baradi on November 17, 1999, in Sapele, Delta State, her artistic journey took a pivotal turn in 2018 when she moved to Lagos. Immersed in the vibrant pulse of the city’s music culture, she began crafting a sound that harmoniously blends her heritage with contemporary influences.
Before launching her solo career, Nelly earned her stripes as a background vocalist, contributing to some of the genre’s most celebrated tracks. Her voice added depth to songs by top artists like Timaya, Peruzzi, Seyi Vibez, Mohbad, and Bella Shmurda. She featured on standout hits including “Saro,” “Chance (Na Ham),” “Man of the Year,” “Alaska,” as well as Mohbad’s “Peace,” “Ask About Me,” and “Blessing.” These contributions built her reputation as a hidden gem within the music industry.
Now stepping into the limelight with Troniq Music Inc., Nelly is embracing her moment as a solo artist. Her songs delve into themes of love, yearning, and emotional honesty, all woven into smooth, melodic compositions that transport listeners into her expressive world. With an expanding fanbase of over 45,000 followers, Nelly is already resonating with audiences who are drawn to her vocal depth and genuine storytelling.
Her first official appearance under Troniq came on the collaborative track “Dirty,” featuring Oxlade, Kohdee, and Kemuel—an electrifying introduction to her sound and artistic identity. With more projects on the horizon, Troniq Music is confident that Nelly Baradi represents the future of Afro-R&B.
Nelly isn’t just another artist—she’s a heartfelt narrator, an emotional conduit, and a rising name set to make waves well beyond the continent.
