Talented singer and songwriter Oreofero Oyindamola Collins, professionally known as Frescool, is quickly emerging as a standout voice in Afrobeats, a genre known for its rhythmic energy and emotional resonance.
Frescool’s journey began long before mainstream recognition. He built a dedicated following on Instagram through freestyle videos and song covers, showcasing a raw vocal talent that would soon capture industry attention.
In 2019, he gained prominence with the soulful single “Surulere” featuring Oxlade, demonstrating both vocal depth and emotional storytelling. His victory in the 2021 Lagos Anthem Cover Challenge, hosted by Zlatan Ibile, earned him a feature on the official remix and solidified his reputation as an artist to watch.
Frescool signed with Cash Nation Entertainment, led by the late Khasy Godson, who played a pivotal role in shaping his early career. In May 2022, The NATIVE magazine spotlighted him on its ‘uNder: Best New Artists’ list, cementing his rising influence in the Nigerian music scene.
Following the loss of his label boss, Frescool embraced independence, releasing singles like “Cover Me,” “Magical,” “Alone,” and “Neverlack”, each reflecting his fusion of melodic soul and modern Afrobeats. In 2024, his collaboration “Take Control” with Melivito surpassed four million streams on Spotify, marking his most successful record to date.
Now, Frescool is preparing for a new milestone: the release of his debut EP, a highly anticipated project that fans hope will define the next chapter of his evolving career. From humble Instagram beginnings to global streaming success, Frescool’s trajectory underscores resilience, creativity, and a growing impact on the Afrobeats scene.
