About the experience
In a world overflowing with noise, it’s becoming harder to recognize art made with intention versus art made for attention. You’re receiving this because you matter to me — I believe you create with care. I believe your work carries meaning. I know this because encountering your art has shaped me — it’s made me think deeper, feel more honestly, and grow.
So I want to welcome you into my space — my home, my world, my art. This project is personal. It’s honest. And I hope it speaks to you the way your work has spoken to me.
My name is Bolu Ajibade. I make music for people who still believe art should mean something, and I can’t wait to share this moment with you on the 4th.
THE EXPERIENCE - Three floors. One story.
Music upstairs. Reflection in between. The truth below.
FRIENDS isn’t performed — it’s experienced. Show up present.
One space feels like home: music playing, food and drinks moving, photos and moments from the world that shaped the EP. Another asks you to slow down and participate — writing, reflecting, speaking, being present with the people you came with. Below, the noise fades. A quiet screening and conversation reveal where this project came from and why it had to exist.
Move through it slowly. Leave with more than you came with.
