TFCLIQUE are an R&B/Pop/Afrobeat music group that consists of two members, Tomiwa Adegboye(Tommy Tomad) and Sanjo Olajubu. Although a relatively young group, they have been carving their place on the Irish urban music scene here, with their catchy tracks and soothing melodies.
Both originally from Lagos in Nigeria, they moved to Ireland in the mid naughties and ended up in Dundalk where they attended the same school and became friends. It was here back in 2009 when The Future was formed.
Sanjo has been honing his skills for a few years now and used to be a member of a Dublin based group called Hype Era, Influenced by the likes of Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Mi Abaga and Asa. His style reflects a modern but more easy listening style of rhyming. Tommy Teezy has been singing and dancing from around the age of 8 and turned his attention more to his singing in the last few years. Influenced by the styles of R. Kelly, Chris Brown, Omarion and Mali Music, Tommy Teezy’s style is very appealing to most music listeners with his softly sang melodies that scale and lace the tracks that he graces.
Linking up in school through their similar tastes in music, they formed TFCLIQUE and immediately started to find their styles and passion complimenting each other as they began to compose full and solid songs with more ease. Seeing the talent and potential of the upcoming group, Alan Newman got them on as part of his Blaze nights, a showcase for Irish urban acts and where the duo performed every second week over a number of months. It was during this time that TFCLIQUE got their 1st recognition after they came first in their schools talent competition. Building on their success and making a name for their well crafted and catchy tracks, they were then asked to be guests on the Dundalk School Talent Show to perform. The group are still performing live, which is another strong aspect of their talent, getting them gigs in both Dundalk and Dublin.
TFCLIQUE released their first mixtape , Time Machine in 2011 which was received with positive feedback due to its level of quality, songwriting and delivery. It features the well known track You Complete Me, which firmly placed TFCLIQUE on the lips of the nation as a group to watch out for.
The duo are now working on their next installment, an as yet untitled E.P of all original tracks that they hope to have released by the end of 2014.. TFCLIQUE have arrived and are ready to make their mark…!!!!
