Aside from themselves, the TOOCHI also have an initiative to support new artists especially young people in music. Their TOOBEE initiative aims at providing mentorship, support and workshops for up and coming artists, songwriters seeking opportunities within the UK music industry like in production, sound engineering etc and ”we incorporate our TOOBEE initiative in our TOOCHI Live events etc. We want to expand and offer our TOOBEE workshops in Nigeria with future projects in the pipeline.”
TOOCHI were fortunate to have a soft launch of their track GET REAL last year November in Lagos and received a warm welcome from City 105.1 FM Lagos radio listeners giving positive feedback for the track. TOOCHI were also out and about promoting in Lagos and were able to attend the AFRIFF festival (African International Film Festival) ‘Collision Course’ Nollywood film premiere at Landmark Centre meeting in person Nollywood acting stars and Nigerian great talent director Bolanle Austin Peters. TOOCHI also supported the AFRIMA (All Africa Music Awards) 2021 Awards ceremony greeting the show award nominees on social media while promoting their song GET REAL.
The twins are excited to share their new journey in the Nigerian / African Afrobeat music scene with the promotion of their latest official music video GET REAL.
