Duke Concept Presents: ROTIMI IN MY HEART, IN MY VEINS TOUR THURSDAY, MAY 22, 2025 THE MIL Doors: 7:00PM Show: 8:00PM ALL AGES Rotimi is a first-generation Nigerian-American who grew up in New Jersey, a place that shaped his tenacity, resilience, and drive for success. A multi-instrumentalist with a passion for music from an early age, Rotimi's musical journey began as a wedding singer at just four years old. His undeniable talent and dedication propelled him to the Apollo Theater at age 15, where he performed and won over audiences with his rendition of Kenny Lattimore’s “For You.” From there, his musical career flourished, leading him to perform across the tri-state area and become part of a collective that would eventually become MBH. With a deep-rooted belief in his destiny, Rotimi's path was paved by a vision shared by his mother. In a dream, Bob Marley told her, "Your son is going to finish out your legacy." That prophetic moment marked the beginning of Rotimi’s journey to create music that transcends borders and genres. Always confident and resilient, he was the varsity captain of his high school basketball team, a testament to his leadership both on and off the stage. After high school, Rotimi pursued a voice performance major at Northwestern University, where he formed the R&B group HG (Hustle Group). Despite the challenges of limited resources, Rotimi and his group sneaked into the university's music department to record, and their persistence paid off. His song "Beautiful Music" began to trend online, leading to performances at local universities and further honing his craft. Graduating with a degree in communications and a minor in business, Rotimi was ready to take on the world. After college, he launched his acting career with a recurring role on the Starz TV show Boss. Following two successful seasons, the television show eventually ran its course and was cancelled. As a result, Rotimi relocated to L.A. to pursue new opportunities in the entertainment industry. He started self-taping to submit audition videos for a role on Power, and the rest is history. His debut EP, Jeep Music Volume 1, features the hit single "Want More" with Kranium, which amassed over 40 million streams, setting the stage for his future success. Rotimi’s breakthrough came in 2020 with the release of The Beauty of Becoming, which produced his first RIAA Gold Certified record, "In My Bed." His musical range and star power continued to grow, and in 2021, he released All or Nothing, featuring heavyweights like Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, and Tank, solidifying his place as an artist with limitless potential. With the support of influential figures such as T-Pain, 50 Cent, JAY-Z, Jamie Foxx, and T.I., among others, Rotimi continued to carve out his unique sound, blending contemporary R&B with Afrobeat and dancehall influences. A true testament to his journey from humble beginnings to global success, he continues to build his legacy with his latest album, In My Heart, In My Veins. A hardworking, inspiring, and confident artist, Rotimi's music is not just a reflection of his roots, but an anthem for all those who dare to dream.
