Following the success of his debut album, Lynxxx and partner at Syndik8 Records, Ikon embarked on a university-wide tour to Lagos, Ilorin and Ibadan catering to the ever-supportive college fans. According to the label rep, the Lynxxx & Friends tour will be stopping in the North, East and Southsouth region later this year.
As a new artist, Lynxxx has had the opportunity to work with a long-list of music industry luminaries across West Africa including R2Bees, Efya, Naeto C, Banky W and Wizkid, fusing Hip Hop and soulful R&B to produce what he terms ‘Jollof Music.’ As part of the ‘This is Lynxxx’ promotional tour, Lynxxx visited Ghana, Abuja and Benin, performing with Hip-Hop Duo, Show Dem Camp (SDC) and Play Record’s, Rilwan last month.
The success of his debut single, "Change Ur Parade," released in Nov. 2009 paved the way for his album "This is Lynxxx" in December 2010 featuring Whizkid, Banky W, Naeto C, R2Bees, General PYPE and Efya amongst others. After an impressive run of three straight hit singles, soft drink giant, Pepsi, signed the young artist to an endorsement deal, making him the first African artiste to enjoy such an honor.
In 2010, Lynxxx received a nomination from the Nigerian Music Video Awards (Best Afro Hip-Hop) and the Dynamix All Youth Awards (Most Promising Artist). Besides his work as an artist and label head, he co-owns the Syndik8 Redroom Studio and apparel-line, Syndik8 Denim.
