A formative moment arrived in 2015 when he attended a creative writing workshop led by author <strong>Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie<\/strong>. &#8220;It was a nice entry into the art world,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>A Computer Science graduate, he worked across advertising, technology and media, including a stint as Editor-in-Chief of <strong>Zikoko<\/strong>, a Nigerian digital publication. Throughout those years, songwriting remained a constant. While moving house recently, he discovered old notebooks dating back to 2007, each containing songs.<\/p>\n<h2>The &#8216;Master of Ballads&#8217; philosophy<\/h2>\n<p>Dwin, The Stoic&#8217;s catalogue includes tracks such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Streets<\/li>\n<li>Ifunanya<\/li>\n<li>I Go Nowhere<\/li>\n<li>Again<\/li>\n<li>Mad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He approaches music as a writer first, prioritising storytelling over genre. &#8220;I do different genres,&#8221; he explains. &#8220;Even if it&#8217;s a fast song people are dancing to, I&#8217;m still telling a story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fans often call him the &#8220;King of Ballads&#8221;, but he prefers a phrase from a 2019 interview: &#8220;the emerging Master of Ballads.&#8221; That label later became the title of one of his projects. For him, a ballad is defined not by tempo but by narrative.<\/p>\n<h2>Audience connection and vulnerability<\/h2>\n<p>Listeners frequently share personal experiences tied to his songs. &#8220;What I&#8217;ve learned is that my people really like the music I make,&#8221; he says. &#8220;There&#8217;s a strong sense of vulnerability in how they interact with it. People come and tell me how they are feeling, what the songs mean to them, and that has created a very interesting relationship with my audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He adds: &#8220;I love that I get to interact with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Curated platforms and personal boundaries<\/h2>\n<p>To strengthen those ties, Dwin, The Stoic has built a network beyond standard social media. His newsletter, <strong>Letters from Dwin, The Stoic<\/strong>, offers personal reflections and early announcements. The fan community <strong>We The Stoics<\/strong> grows across TikTok and Instagram. His label, <strong>St. Claire Records<\/strong>, maintains dedicated channels for Dwin, Rhaffy and Celeste Ojatula.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re trying to create different experiences across all these platforms,&#8221; he says. &#8220;People on YouTube might get exclusive videos, people on the newsletter hear about shows first, and there are different ways for everyone to feel spoken to and taken care of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He remains intentional about boundaries. &#8220;Content curation is important. Each platform has its own purpose. What I post on LinkedIn is different from what I post on TikTok or Instagram.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I always maintain that artists should have some things they keep for themselves. I try to keep a balance and be mindful of how much of myself I share.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nigerian singer-songwriter Dwin, The Stoic is strengthening direct
