Born in Lagos, Nigeria, THEHONESTGUY is a soulful, sonic tour de force. Now based in Toronto, THEHONESTGUY has a strong penchant for melody and groove, and marries the spirit and sound of RnB and funk to create what he has coined as ‘FUNKY SOUL’.

THEHONESTGUY, who was exposed to RnB music in its prime, developed a deep love and passion for all facets of the genre. It is through songwriting that the artist, who grew up socially isolated, found solace and a way to pay homage to the music that gives his life meaning.

With two projects released to date, THEHONESTGUY has been able to capture audiences far and wide. His most recent project HOW TO MAKE LOVE has been the most monumental to his career; gaining a JUNO AWARD NOMINATION in the Traditional R&B category in 2023.

This project also received great support from Spotify, by featuring the artist in: SPOTIFY FRESH FINDS OF 2022, SPOTIFY BEST R&B SONGS OF 2022, SPOTIFY ARTIST TO WATCH IN 2023.

Early 2023, THEHONESTGUY follows up on his success with SOMETIMES I CRY, a single off his next EP, due summer 2023. With the use off “doo wops and lush harmonies” the song borrows from the 60s and 70s into a new era the artist calls “VELVET SOUL”.

Actuellement basé à Toronto, THEHONESTGUY a une forte inclination pour la mélodie et le groove, mariant l’esprit et le son du RnB et du funk pour créer ce qu’il a lui-même défini comme du “FUNKY SOUL”.

THEHONESTGUY, qui a été exposé à la musique RnB à son apogée, a développé un amour profond et une passion pour toutes les facettes du genre. C’est à travers l’écriture de chansons que l’artiste, ayant grandi dans l’isolement social, a trouvé du réconfort et une manière de rendre hommage à la musique qui donne un sens à sa vie.

Avec deux projets déjà sortis, THEHONESTGUY a su captiver un public de partout. Son projet le plus récent, intitulé “HOW TO MAKE LOVE”, a été le plus monumental de sa carrière, lui valant une NOMINATION AUX JUNO AWARDS dans la catégorie R&B traditionnel en 2023.

Ce projet a également reçu un grand soutien de Spotify, qui a mis en avant l’artiste dans les playlists suivantes : “SPOTIFY FRESH FINDS OF 2022”, “SPOTIFY BEST R&B SONGS OF 2022”, et “SPOTIFY ARTIST TO WATCH IN 2023”.

Au début de 2023, THEHONESTGUY fait suite à son succès avec “SOMETIMES I CRY”, un single extrait de son prochain EP prévu pour l’été 2023. Avec l’utilisation de “doo wops et d’harmonies riches”, la chanson puise dans les années 60 et 70 pour les insuffler dans une nouvelle ère que l’artiste appelle “VELVET SOUL”.
