Born

As a middle Child and only daughter of the Chidozie's, a small family of 5 who resided in eastern and south western Nigeria over the last two decades, her musical experience typically began from the church at the tender age of 6. Just before she rose to stardom in 2020, Fave (coined from Favour) was just a 19 year old singer-songwriter pursuing a law degree belted with only one single M.O.M.M.S which stands for Me or Mask My Sins.
Although her Career has seen her dabble around genres including dancehall, Afro pop, Afro beats, Dane, R & B, Fave largely considers herself a "pop" girl. Her poetic approach to writing prioritizes vulnerability accompanied by vivid plots conveying a whirlwind of emotions often on groovy beat-drops or high-tempo drum progressions.
In 2019, while studying for a Law degree in south-western Nigeria she posted several freestyles on her Twitter account which was instrumental in bringing her into the spotlight, she started gaining traction after her verse on Jinmi Abdul's produced free beat became an internet sensation specifically on Twitter where she got a lot of positive feedback from the public. Fave went on to release her official debut single N.B.U meaning "Nobody but U" on the 17th of April 2020 debuting number 64 on Apple music Top 100 charts. Months later she subsequently signed a year long licensing deal With Mr Eazi's emPawa Africa in November 2021 . Fave rose to stardom after the release of her most popular single "Baby riddim" released under emPawa Africa .[4]
The single "Baby riddim" became the number 1 song in Nigeria on turntable chart making it the second entry by a lead female artiste to reach number 1 in Nigeria on turntable chart, the single was also the number 1 Global Shazam Afrobeats record for 6 weeks consecutively in 2021.[5]
Fave released her debut EP titled ‘Riddim 5’ which dropped on Thursday January 20, 2022. The EP includes five solo tracks – Obsessed, S.M.K, Kilotufe, Mr. Man, and her most successful hit, Baby Riddim. The EP became the first 2022-released project to go number 1 on Apple Music Top albums chart in Nigeria. Nigerian rapper Olamide featured Fave on two tracks "Want" and "Pon Pon" in his UY Scuti album released in 2021.[6]
Nigerian singer Simi featured Fave on her single titled "loyal" released in 2022.[7]She was later featured on the track 'kante' off Davido's album Timeless which was released march 2023, a song in which she delivered a powerful chorus with her vocals playing a major role in it.
