Nigerian singer and songwriter Timi Dakolo is set to perform at NECLive 2025. He has performed at the event in a previous edition and will be returning to the NECLive stage this year. Timi became famous after winning the first season of West African Idol in 2007. Since then, he has become one of Nigeria’s most loved vocalists, known for his strong voice and emotional, soulful songs.
Beyond his music career, Timi has served as a mentor and judge on several music talent shows, most notably The Voice Nigeria, where he has helped guide and inspire a new generation of African artists. With hit songs like “Iyawo Mi” and “Great Nation,” Timi continues to use his voice to entertain and uplift.
He joins a star-studded lineup of performers and speakers at NECLive 2025, where the spotlight will be on innovation, storytelling, and the future of Africa’s creative industries. Registration is now open at www.nec.ng for creatives, performers, sponsors, media professionals, and more.
