Her genre of music is Dynamic Dùndún. 

 

Dynamic Dùndún is a groundbreaking genre created by DJ Ìràwọ̀ which blends the rhythmic heartbeat of the Yorùbá Talking Drum with the energy of various types of music genres such as Electronic Dance Music, Afrobeat, Afrobeats, Jazz, Soul, Folk, etc.

 

Pioneered by DJ Ìràwọ̀, this sound is a modern evolution of Yorùbá culture, featuring dynamic beats, bilingual lyrics and a fusion of tradition with innovation. 

 

DJ Ìràwọ̀ also pioneered the addition of the sound of the Dùndún drums to a DJ set where she blends the talking drums beats with different genres of music such as Afrobeat, Hip Hop, Soul, Rock, etc.

 

DJ Ìràwọ̀ also pioneered using Dùndún Drums as jazz and classical music instruments. 


Evidence of this is when she competed with MUSON students at the Christmas Magic music competition hosted by the Musical Society of Nigeria (MUSON). 


She records and performs music in the Yorùbá and English languages.

 

Her major musical instrument is the Gángan from the Dùndún family of Talking Drums. 

 

When she is not performing her own music, she performs all genres of music in any language.
