talent hunt show while she was still at the University of Jos spurred her to
pursue a solo career after graduation.

Eldee's Trybe Records.
Aramide sings about love, betrayal, friendship, trust,
and the attendant joys and aches of womanhood. Her musical influences
include Erykah Badu, Miriam Makeba, Sade, Angelique Kidjo and other
greats.
Her approach to song-writing and her soft but deep and powerful voice are some of the things that stand her out.
