Nigerian singer and songwriter Shamah Ayomikun Jacobs, popularly known as RIIDM, is set to release his new extended play (EP), Feel The RIIDM, on Friday, November 6, 2026.
The forthcoming project marks another step in the rising artiste’s musical journey as he seeks to establish his presence in Nigeria’s competitive entertainment industry.
Born in Ilorin, Kwara State, and originally from Kogi State, RIIDM grew up in Ebute Metta, Lagos, where he developed an interest in music and other creative pursuits.
The singer has released several singles, including Okay, Chosen, What’s Left, Hold On and IDO, which have helped introduce his sound to listeners.
His new EP is expected to offer a broader expression of his musical style, with a collection of songs reflecting his interest in rhythm, emotion and storytelling.
Beyond music, RIIDM is also a graphic designer and video editor, skills he brings into his creative activities and artistic development.
The singer’s journey into music has also been shaped by his family background. Raised in a Christian household as the son of a pastor, his decision to pursue a career in music marked a significant personal choice.
Having grown up in Ebute Metta, an area associated with several Nigerian entertainers, RIIDM developed his craft in Lagos, a major centre for the country’s music and creative industries.
The artiste’s ability to combine music with visual creativity also reflects the growing trend among independent musicians who take active roles in developing their artistic identities and promoting their work.
Feel The RIIDM will be available on major digital streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Audiomack, from Friday.
The release is expected to give listeners a fresh opportunity to explore RIIDM’s sound and assess his growth as he continues to build his music career.
