Felizno’s new single, Gbim, captures  pulse of modern African sound

GBIM, the brand new single of Afro-fusion artist, Felix Obadan, aka Felizno, has captured the pulse of modern African sound.

GBIM is currently enjoying massive download on various streaming platforms, and topping charts on Spotify Nigeria and Apple Nigeria.

Edo State-born Felizno is influenced by his experiences shuttling between Nigeria and Europe. He blends the raw energy of Afrobeats with global fusion elements, creating music that speaks to both street realities and universal emotions.

Felizno first broke into the scene with his debut single, Miss You, which gained over 50,000 plays across streaming platforms, introducing his soulful voice and heartfelt storytelling to a growing audience.

In 2024, he released his debut EP, Felizino Street, a 4-track project inspired by life in Lagos and his personal journey. Songs like Lagos Wise and Emmanuel resonated widely, showcasing his ability to merge urban street culture with infectious Afrobeats rhythm.

Since then, Felizno has continued to build momentum with singles such as Table, Blessing, Relationship, Onisan and Amore Vero, earning recognition from platforms like Pulse Nigeria, Punch and Turntable Charts as one of Afrobeats’ rising voices.

With a style defined by melodic hooks, deep storytelling and vibrant Afro-fusion production, Felizno is carving out his place as a new-generation artist, bridging Nigeria’s streets with the global stage.

Passionate, versatile and authentic, the singer represents the evolving sound of Africa and is poised to leave a lasting impact on the world of Afrobeats.
