Born Oluwapelumi Olorunda in Lagos’ Agege district, Runda’s rise from a shy high school poet to one of Nigeria’s most compelling independent artists is a testament to perseverance. Growing up in a community with limited opportunities, he turned to music at 16, refining his craft through storytelling and melodic innovation. After his breakout self-titled EP and 2023’s “Beautiful Lies,” he now presents his debut album, Behind Closed Doors.
The album explores self-discovery, resilience, and the highs and lows of life. Each track delves into raw emotions, capturing moments of doubt, strength, and healing. It’s not just about love but the courage to embrace vulnerability and grow through struggle.
Behind Closed Doors is a testament to overcoming fear and finding hope. Runda’s lyrics reflect the dreams and struggles of the average Nigerian youth chasing success. With faith, desire, and honesty, he reminds listeners that setbacks pave the way for comebacks. This album is for anyone who’s ever felt lost but refuses to stay down.
