Meet Ifeoluwa Ogun

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ifeoluwa Ogun. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ifeoluwa below.

Ifeoluwa , thanks for taking the time to share your lessons with our community today. So, let’s jump right in – one of the most essential skills for unlocking our potential is self-discipline. Where does your self-discipline come from?

Being Nigerian… no, I’m just joking! But really though, my self-discipline comes from a place of not having any, to be honest. To me, self-discipline is having control over any and every action that I can control, whether good or bad. I’m young, but I’ve been through some questionable things. Going through those experiences has shown me a lot and taught me about myself and others. I’ve learned, and now I’m moving on to bigger and better things.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Thank you so much for this opportunity! My name is Ifeoluwa, aka xoLuwa. I make various types of music, mostly focused on RnB and Alt RnB, and I’ve been trying to be as diverse as possible! I’m Irish and Nigerian, based in Chicago, IL.

I started making music about four years ago, but I just recently started taking it seriously. My music is based on my real experiences, like breakups and finding my self-worth—just growing up, you know? I don’t really tell people how I feel, so I put it in a song. It absolutely means the world to me when people tell me how relatable I am. It makes me happy when people are genuinely supportive. I don’t do this for the numbers, but seeing those numbers definitely makes me smile a bit!

I’m happy to say you can find me on all streaming platforms at xoLuwa. I love connecting with my supporters as well.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Confidence to keep going even when things are moving slow

Being goal driven

Just being able to block out the negativity.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

I definitely am looking for people to Collab with, but they typically find me but you know. I love being pushed outside of my comfort zone when it comes to music because like I mentioned, I love to be diverse.
