Before stepping fully into the spotlight as an artist, Deewave built a reputation as one of
Nigeria’s most sought-after songwriters. In 2023, he co-wrote records including Candy Bleakz’s
“Wale” and “Free For All,” showcasing a gift for crafting memorable songs. Now, the Lagos-
based singer and songwriter is telling his own stories through a blend of Afrobeats, Afro-pop,
and Alté R&B. His latest single, “SNTM,” reflects the mindset that has guided his journey,
choosing purpose, discipline, and faith over distractions.
On “SNTM,” Deewave speaks openly about the realities of chasing success while navigating the
pressures of everyday life. Built around the refrain, “Shayo no be my problem, many things wey
be problem,” the song reminds listeners that real-life challenges deserve more attention than
temporary escapes. Through conversational lyrics, he reflects on trusting God’s timing, staying
consistent, and drawing strength from the values his mother instilled in him. Rather than chasing
appearances, he focuses on growth, resilience, and the determination to keep moving forward.
Driven by mellow Afrobeats production and smooth melodies, “SNTM” blends street-inspired
lyricism with quiet confidence. The record turns familiar conversations into affirmations about
patience, gratitude, and believing in the process. It is a relatable soundtrack for anyone working
toward a better future, offering a reminder that lasting success is built through discipline, faith,
and persistence.
“‘SNTM’ is about keeping your priorities straight. Everyone has pressures they deal with,
but I’ve learned that faith, consistency, and hard work will always take you further than
distractions. That’s the message I wanted to share,” says Deewave.
“SNTM” is now available on all streaming platforms via ONErpm.
