Popular Ibadan-based Fuji musician, Taye Akande Adebisi, widely known as Taye Currency, has expanded his entrepreneurial footprint with the launch of a radio station, Currency 93.1 FM, in Ibadan.
With the unveiling of the station, the Fuji star formally joins the growing league of entertainers-turned media entrepreneurs in Oyo State, marking a major milestone in his career beyond music.
The new station, Currency 93.1 FM, adds to the steadily expanding broadcast landscape of Ibadan, a city increasingly recognised as one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing media hubs.
In recent years, the Oyo State capital has witnessed a surge in private radio investments, driven by its large audience base, cultural influence and commercial viability.
Sources said the entry of Taye Currency into broadcasting reflects a broader trend of creative professionals leveraging their popularity and influence to build sustainable media platforms that engage diverse audiences.
Sources close to the project said the station is designed to deliver a blend of music, entertainment, community-focused programming and indigenous content, with a strong emphasis on promoting Yoruba culture and local talents.
The launch has been greeted with excitement among fans and stakeholders in the entertainment and media sectors, who see the development as a positive boost to cultural expression and job creation in the state.
By venturing into broadcasting, Taye Currency has further reinforced his status as a versatile cultural entrepreneur, while strengthening Ibadan’s reputation as a vibrant centre for music, media and creative enterprise.
