New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ I AM PR Agency) Michigan-based singer Tunde Olaniran announces a new performance on May 20th at the Detroit
Future Youth Network Fundraiser. Tunde Olaniran has been an avid supporter of Detroit Summer and was invited to perform at their completely youth-run
Spring fundraiser, the "Inked Wrath of the T-shirt Party". He will share the stage with Detroit artists Invincible and Passalacqua. Detroit Summer is a multi-racial, inter-generational collective in Detroit that has been working to transform communities through youth leadership, creativity and collective action since 1992. It is a youth-led response to Detroit's dropout crisis, which uses music, poetry, and visual art to investigate community problems and generate community-based solutions.

Pop Goes Duane (signed to Jack White's label),
Marco Polio and the New Vaccines, and Arlow Xan are also scheduled to perform.
About Tunde Olaniran
Tunde Olaniran has been instilled with the infusion of culture, consciousness, and rhythm since birth. He lived in Germany, Nigeria, and England before settling in Flint, MI where he was exposed to urban, folk, and soul influences as well as a strong jazz influence. Weird, soulful, old school, catchy, uplifting. All of these words have been used by listeners to describe Tunde's style. He has opened for major artists such as Robyn, and had the opportunity to tour
Europe (France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia), sharing the stage with acts like Switch, Ebony Bones, Diplo, XXXChange, and Jahcoozi; and making believers out of Detroit metal-heads and Croatian ravers alike with a sound that defies convention. www.tundeolaniran.com
