Who is soulami

Soulami, born Nnebebum Mark Valentine on August 26, 2003, is a Nigerian Afro-fusion artist from Anambra State. Formerly known as Icekingoffical, he began his professional music journey in 2019 and quickly carved a space for himself with a sound that blends Afrobeats, cultural rhythms, and modern street energy.

He first gained attention with “Rush Remix” in 2019, introducing listeners to his confident delivery and emotionally driven songwriting. Over the years, he has continued to evolve, building a catalog that reflects ambition, identity, and authenticity. His music explores themes of self-belief, hustle, love, therapy through sound, and cultural pride.

Soulami’s discography includes projects such as I Am Him (2025) and Top Songs Returns (2025), alongside standout singles like “Ginger Me,” “Wahala (feat. Portable),” “Active Asake,” “Fake Love Speed Up,” “Dopamine Cultural Dance,” and “My Therapy.” His collaboration with Portable on “Wahala” and work with Frankowizzy further expanded his reach within Nigeria’s vibrant Afro-street scene.

The transition from Icekingoffical to Soulami marks artistic growth rather than reinvention. The name Soulami reflects depth, soul, and creative rebirth — a matured vision rooted in African heritage while embracing global sounds. With every release, Soulami continues to push boundaries, representing a new generation of Nigerian artists shaping the future of Afrobeats.
