Runda is of Yoruba extraction but the southwestern State he is from is unknown at this time. He spent most of his childhood and early adult life in Agege. It was there he had his nursery, primary, and secondary school education. We&#8217;ve got no information on Runda ever attending a tertiary institution after completion of his secondary school education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Age of Runda\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda was born in March 1999. Therefore he will turn 24 hours in March 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Runda&#8217;s Music Career\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stage name &#8216;Runda&#8217; was derived from his surname &#8216;Olorunda&#8217;. Runda has confessed on several occasions that his decision to do music was influenced by Michael Jackson, Wizkid, 2Face, and R Kelly. And in 2016, his career took off, albeit as an independent artist at the time. At the start of his career, he put out some low-quality songs produced in local studios around his neighbourhood. However, almost all of his earliest tracks didn&#8217;t enjoy major traction. But in 2019, Runda released <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire Can&#8217;t Cool, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which became his first track to enjoy massive airplay across the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then in 2020, DJ Neptune enlisted the help of Runda on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bembe, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a song recorded under emPawa Records. He, however, was never signed to emPawa at any time as most sources might like to claim. His contribution to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bembe<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> further widened his popularity among music lovers in the country and beyond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the success of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bembe, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda&#8217;s prominence in the music industry in Nigeria grew further. He wrote and released several songs that endeared more fans to him. Some of the popular songs Runda is credited to have released after <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bembe <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">include <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angelina, Sing, Bam Bam, Wahala, Far Away, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salema. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda also released a cover of Davido&#8217;s hit song, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jowo. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These songs further cemented his status as one of the fast-rising artists in Nigeria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2022, Runda dropped a single titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Girl. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The song was jointly produced by Ty Cruz and Soundz, while STG handled the mixing and mastering aspect of the song. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Girl <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enjoyed massive airplay across radio and television stations in Nigeria. On digital streaming platforms, the song also recorded impressive streaming and download statistics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Months after Runda released <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Girl, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he dropped a 6-track debut EP project titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EP was released through the Lit Music Group record label and was distributed across multiple platforms by ONErpm. The EP contained <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Girl <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and 5 other tracks. No guest artists were featured in any of the tracks. Ty Cruz, Soundz, Dawie, Hisand, and Jay Pomping worked on the production of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EP. Aside from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the other songs on the EP include <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superstar, Monaco, No One, Zombie, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boogie Down.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EP was well-received by the teeming fanbase of Runda across Nigeria and other African countries and beyond. The most streamed songs off the EP are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No One <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Girl, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">however, the other four songs of the EP recorded impressive streaming and download numbers too<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In a similar vein, Runda&#8217;s music videos on YouTube record tens of thousands of views, a testament to his ever-increasing fan base and audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toward the end of 2022, Runda released another hit single titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Fault <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as a follow-up to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EP<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The song was praised for its mind-blowing lyrics and rhythms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda is also a TikTok sensation as many people have curated hundreds of thousands of reels and videos on TikTok with his songs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>What Record Label is Runda Signed to?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people have the impression that Runda is a signee to Mr. Eazi&#8217;s record label known as emPawa. The reason for this is that his breakout song, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bembe <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with DJ Neptune was recorded under the imprint of emPawa Records. But never was Runda signed to emPawa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an interview session on the #Morning Show with Mannie and Mahogany, Runda cleared the air on his relationship with Mr. Eazi&#8217;s emPawa record label. He stated that he never signed any record deal with mePawa, but was grateful to Mr. Eazi for the opportunity to record <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bembe <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">under emPawa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda is currently signed to Lit Music Group. His debut album was released via the Lit Music Group imprint alongside ONErpm, the digital distribution service. This means in addition to the record deal he has with Lit Music Group, Runda also has a distribution deal with ONErpm which allows the digital distribution service to do direct-to-fans sales of his music, and to distribute his music across multiple digital platforms like iTunes and Spotify.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Discography<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This section will outline the songs and projects Runda has contributed to, whether as a lead artist or featured artist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extended Playlist (EP) projects of Runda:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda EP<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The songs contained in the EP include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superstar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monaco<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No One<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boogie Down\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Girl<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zombie\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Songs of Runda:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire Can&#8217;t Cool<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bembe (DJ Neptune &amp; Runda)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Girl\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superstar\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bam Bam<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Far Away<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wahala<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jowo (cover)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salema\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uptown Girl<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Fault<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boogie Down<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zombie<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No One<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angelina\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sing\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Net Worth of Runda<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Runda makes the most of his income from music, ranging from appearance fees to royalties from digital platforms.
