Tunde Speaks on Why He Left Styl-Plus

Tunde Akinsanmi, a former member of the popular RnB group, Styl-Plus, has said he did not break out of the band out of greed.

In 20218, Tunde who was the lead vocalist of the defunct group officially announced he was leaving the band to pursue a solo career in music at a news conference in Abuja.

He also announced he no longer wished to be known on stage as Tunde Styl Plus, but Tunde T Dot, adding that he was now signed onto PEC records in solo capacity.

According to him, the decision to change the name was based on the need to pick a name that would reflect his new direction as a solo entity in entertainment.

Explaining his reason for dumping the award-winning Styl Plus in a recent interview, Tunde said there were alot of back and forth and disagreement but he left because it was the best decision made by the group.

“There were so many other things I needed to do at that time and we couldn’t agree on such things, so it was best for us to go our separate ways and here we are.

“Styl Plus is not really defunct like that, it has just been reformed. Sometimes we sing together, I can sing all our songs if I want to, they can do the same and we can come together and still sing it as well.

“So I didn’t break out of Styl Plus out of greed,” he added.

Speaking on what he has been up to, the singer said,”Aside from being a solo artist now I’ve done so many projects that my hardcore fans know what’s going on so you can always get them on my Spotify. But apart from that I’m a tech guy, I’m into game development, data analysis and recently scrum master so I just want to be the best I can be while I’m young.

The boy band Styl Plus was the rave of the industry in the mid-2000s when their hit single ‘Olufunmi’ hit the airwaves.
