Fiokee Debuts as a Vocalist on New Single “If You Don’t Mind”

Fiokee, the renowned guitarist and producer, has kicked off the year and his new age with a fresh single titled ‘If You Don’t Mind’.

The song, co-produced by Xtofa and Fiokee, features Fiokee as the lead vocalist for the first time. In “If You Don’t Mind”, Fiokee delivers a soothing melody and a catchy hook, as he provides reassurance to his lover ‘Don’t worry about anything, I’ma give everything.’

Fiokee has built his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most recognisable guitar voices, cutting across Afrobeats, highlife textures and pop production. That’s why hearing him take the lead mic here feels like a deliberate pivot — not a gimmick, but a new layer of the same musical identity.

Fiokee is widely recognized for his skillful guitar solos that blend highlife rhythms and contemporary sounds. His musical journey began at a very young age in a church choir, where he learned to sing the solfa notation and developed his passion for music.

The record stays simple and reassuring, leaning into melody over drama. It’s the kind of song that feels designed for soft replay — a low-stress, feel-good entry point into a new chapter for an artist who has usually lived in the background of other people’s hits.

As Fiokee celebrates his 42nd birthday, he embraces a new challenge and explores a new dimension of his artistic expression.
