I'm olusoji James, aka Olutunz a native of ondo state, born and bred in the city of Lagos, right from my tender age I had discovered music is my life, all thanks to God for the gift he gave, I enjoy spending time with katrinah and katrisha, well you might be wondering who those are, they are my guitars, they help me get my things done, I like to read, I like to act, I like to dance most of all I like to listen to what people have to say, olutunz is also a fashionista as well as a fashion designer, all thanks to God for helping me learn some things before the demise of my lovely mother.

Just like I said earlier, right from my tender age, I had discovered music is my life, my mum inspired me and advised me to go into it since it's what I love right from my tender age.

Why do you choose your style of music?

I believe GOOD music is all about being friendly, and as it is, your music can only be friendly when people could easily hear all you say, as well as people being touched by what you sing as a song, so the actual reason for my style of music is to feed the hungry soul with a spiced and refreshing kinda food through my style of music.

It was an interesting one, a very interesting one at that, it actually caught me unaware because there were lots of talents but all Glory to God because I was singled out of all, even at what the judges felt, mine was totally different.
