Biography
He’s been dubbed ‘the golden voice of Africa’ by 16-time Grammy Award-winning Humberto Gatica (Michael Buble, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion) and now Nigerian sensation Timi Dakolo today releases his debut UK album ‘Merry Christmas, Darling’ on Hafe Music/Virgin EMI. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Timi presents a simply gorgeous, heartfelt collection of soulful Christmas ballads backed by the London Symphony Orchestra. ‘Merry Christmas, Darling’ combines Timi’s unique voice with some of the greatest classical standards ever written. The album, which was two years in the making was additionally recorded in Libreville, Budapest, Lagos and Los Angeles. The album is Executively Produced by Mr. Ali Bongo Ondimba - the visionary behind the project. Producers Humberto Gatica and award-winning jazz composer Frederic Michel Gassita came together with co-Executive Producer Efe Ogbeni, to create what is set to be the soundtrack of the Holiday. Timi said of recording at Abbey Road studios; “Recording this album one of the greatest experiences of my life. It was like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.” Born in Ghana to a Nigerian father and a Ghanaian mother, Timi was primarily raised by his grandmother in Port Harcourt, south-eastern Nigeria, after his mother died when he was just 13. His love of singing was nurtured by his grandmother.
