Oby Onyioha is a pioneer and cult icon of Nigerian disco music, who rose to stardom in the 1980s with her breakout track I Want to Feel Your Love. At a time when disco, breakdance, and strong female voices were seen as Western imports, she shattered genre boundaries and gender stereotypes by bringing them into the Nigerian mainstream.
Academically exceptional, Onyioha was one of the first Nigerian women to combine higher education with a music career—and do it with undeniable style. Her tracks Enjoy Your Life and Break It have since become cult classics, and original pressings of I Want to Feel Your Love have sold for up to $1700 among collectors.

In 2025, producer Tokimonsta released her own version of Enjoy Your Life, bringing Onyioha’s sound to a new generation of dance floors around the world. She paved the way for future generations, and her music still radiates with the vibrancy and elegance of a true original. At Flow Festival, Onyioha is accompanied by the DJ, producer Sai Galaxy, who is known for his collaborations with West African vocalists and instrumentalists.
