Tariq Oluokun (born May 1, 2001), known professionally as TAR1Q (TAH-reek) is a Nigerian
singer-songwriter signed to Chocolate City Music. Blessed with a velvety voice and tone, he
stands out for his heartfelt storytelling, stage presence and his chameleon-like ability to blend
distinct genres.
His musical style, which he terms ‘Afro-Rhythm’, synthesizes contemporary Afrobeats, Pop,
Hip-Hop and classic R&B. In the same way, he cites Sade, Kwam1, Chris Brown, Wizkid, J.
Cole and Davido as core influences on his sound and overall stagecraft. Born in Benin city,
twenty-one years ago, he discovered his love for music at the age of 12. In 2018, he decided to
give music as a career a chance and began experimenting with his sound. First as a
trap-rapper, enjoying putting lyrics together, then he grew to enjoy melody and chants, which he
has infused to create a unique and emotive sound.
In 2021, he was discovered by Chocolate City, and signed to Nutrybe records, a developmental
label and artist incubator under Chocolate City Music, where he began creating music. After one
(1) year in the Academy honing his skill and recording music, Tar1Q has graduated with a total
catalog of over 60 unreleased songs, and a clear understanding of his sound and his brand.
The song is a sonic journey that goes beyond mere lyrics and melodies; it’s a captivating
narrative that resonates with the human experience. With lines that paint pictures of love’s
nuances, TAR1Q and Khaid showcase an extraordinary ability to transform feelings into art.
The chemistry between the artists is palpable, and their combined talents shine through as they
navigate themes of love and devotion.
