Nigerian singer-songwriter Ezeakudo Tonna Emmanuel, popularly known as Sktonero, uses his music to amplify the voices of those often overlooked in society.
During a press conference in Abuja, Sktonero credited Afrobeats legend Wizkid for showing him the power of authentic storytelling.

Born October 6, 1998, in Lagos, Sktonero combines Afrobeats, street-pop, and raw emotional storytelling in his sound.
His 2020 debut single Ewu led to the 2025 EP *Sounds and Melodie, featuring tracks like H.I.M, Suffer, and Igbo Boy.
