Tosinger is a sweet spirited indie artist, an inspirational Afro-soul/folk Singer-Songwriter from Nigeria; she is also a Writer/Poet and a Brand Consultant with a keen ear for good music. An eclectic woman of the arts with a warm personality and matchless passion, her message remains inspirational and uplifting. Her vocal essence & sound has been described as soulful and African, soothing and calming, her voice displays a simple conveyance of heartfelt richness and freshness. She draws influences from her Yoruba cultural background and Afro-francophone edge from her maternal grandmother which contributes to the earthiness she expresses in her music and aura.

Tosinger started singing in the church as a worship leader in her college fellowship where the nickname, ‘Tosinger’, was coined by friends at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Her first name Oluwatosin (short form - Tosin) means “God is worthy to be worshiped” in her local dialect, Yoruba. 

The merge of ‘Tosin’ and ‘Singer’ became ‘Tosinger’. In 2000, she attended Nottingham University where she played a leadership role at the school's Revival Gospel Choir. She moved on to study Music/Worship/Theater at the creative arm of the International Bible Institute of London in 2002 where she thereafter had the opportunity to be part of some London Broadway shows’ vocal ensemble: ‘Mother Goose - The Pantomime’, ‘GodSpell’ and ‘Rent’. In London, she also learned the acoustic guitar and did backup vocals for contemporary Christian musicians- Matt Redman and Dave Wellington.
