Trey Wavey

Daniel Fakoyede a.k.a. Trey Wavey was born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria on 17th March 1998. His family relocated to Dublin, Ireland in October 2000 at the age of 2. Trey Wavey grew up in Tallaght, South Dublin with a very musical background from young, first starting off singing in school and church choirs, then picking up drums and bass, all of which were self-taught. His breakthrough song "TRUSTING GIRLS IS SUICIDE" was released on his 1st project "Waves from the 24" and has racked up more than 240k streams on Spotify at the time of this writing.

After a trip to Nigeria for the funeral of his grandmother, he was encouraged to try out the afrobeats/afropop sound by his family who were impressed by his music. He released his first afropop song ‘Sadé’ which at the time of writing as racked up 160k Spotify streams without any editorial playlisting. He then released his second afropop single ‘My Baby’ featuring popular Nigerian afropop hit maker Buju f.k.a. BNXN. This song also performed well and has racked up 105k Spotify streams at the time of writing. Encouraged by the success of these afropop singles, Trey then decided to an album titled ’24 Hrs in Lagos City’, gaining 900k Spotify streams altogether.

In 2022, Trey Wavey was approached by 2K Sports to include his song ‘Power to Heal’ an official soundtrack for the videogame NBA 2K22. Originally released as part of his album ‘24Hrs in Lagos City’, the track was included as an official soundtrack for the game May 2022.
His mixture of English and his native language Yoruba in his afrobeat songs show the versatility and ease at which he can freely express himself. The percussive flow and rhythm on his beats give his music a lovely energetic flare.
