Helping You Create
a sound that resonates

the founder and lead vocalist arranger

I (Temitayo Babajide) am the founder and lead vocalist arranger of Novellus Music. I have been in and around music my whole life and I have actively played a part within its elements. I do believe that gifts have been deposited into each and every individual for a greater purpose and for a higher calling.

I am very passionate about how music plays a major role in the lives of many, how it can connect to emotions and how it can easily strike a chord with many people’s journey of life. I am always trying to bring forth something ‘different’ or ‘unique’ in a sound that has either been already released or yet too. The power of music is too heavy to be taken lightly and this is something I intend to highlight.

I have worked with several artists, choirs, groups. From live performances to recorded, singles, albums, EP’s and even concerts. I inject flavour in places that may have been overlooked and bring ideas that could help make what’s great; greater! My line of work speaks for itself and even yet so, people’s testimonials will give you more insight of what their experiences have been.

Testimonials

From people that I have worked with

Tayo is a pleasure to work with. Professional, punctual and a great person to be around. He has an awesome vocal tone and great musicality; able to pick up harmonies quickly and add ideas and creativity to songs where requested. Follows direction well and brings a great vibe and energy to a team.

TAYO IS REMARKABLE AND PROFESSIONAL AT WHAT HE DOES!
I had the opportunity of working with him when I produced “The Royal Tribe’s” EP. He worked in the capacity of a Vocal Arranger. His ability to turn an ordinary song to an extraordinary one is peculiar. And he’s a great singer! I look forward to working with him again.

Bro Tim (The Royal Tribe)

I started a group called TKM, we were not getting the result we needed. We invited Tayo to the group and turned things around for the best. I have worked with him on several occasions and I can tell you that he knows his stuff. I am delighted to write this testimony and It would be a privilege to work with you in the future. Greater heights.

Pst Bunmi (The Kings Melody)

If I had to recommend a vocal coach, I’d look no further than Tayo. He effortlessly combines unique melodies to create beautiful arrangements with harmonies that transcend the norm. With his knowledge of music, charisma & ability to teach, he is definitely someone to watch out for because he’s headed to the top!

Working with Tayo of Novellus Music was a great experience. He pays such attention to detail and has pushed me to further explore my vocal abilities. He’s a master at his craft when it comes to vocal arrangements and has a truly organic way of getting the most out of both singers and instrumentalists. I highly recommend him for all your music related projects.

Working with Tayo Babajide on my song ‘Our Father’ was a walk in the park! I sent him the brief and he was able to find me the most suitable singers, in addition to vocal production during the studio session. Through his expertise and direction, the singers were able to bring great warmth and dynamic to the song. I’ll definitely be using Novellus Music again.

Uncle Tayo is a role model to us RACC. Since joining the team, uncle Tayo has brought discipline as well as change and growth in our development. We now understand the difference between singing melody and harmony. We look forward to seeing uncle Tayo always at rehearsals.  Thank you Novellus Music for making us better as a choir.

RACC

Uncle Tayo has helped us grow musically for years in Divine Spirit. Through the help of God he made a name for us out of nothing. Our songs and our skills can only be commended because of the effort and pride he took in his work in ensuring we were giving nothing less than the best! And for that we are grateful to Novellus Music.

Divine Spirit

Tayo assisted Kaleho during one of our biggest ministrations to date, where we supported Brianna Babineaux at her concert here in London. He arranged the harmonies and added some amazing acrobatics that even made the people we ministered to gasp in awe. We had one rehearsal, but with Novellus Music’s support it came together.
