Flyana Boss wasn’t born a star; her journey to stardom has seen its share of time and effort. Regarding history, Bobbi LaNea Taylor and Folayan Omi Kunerede met at a music school. They posted videos for about two years before finally getting significant attention after releasing their big single, “Miss Me,” early this year, 2022. From then on, it has just blown up meteorically for them, receiving support from Janelle Monáe and Missy Elliott. The uplifting dynamic of being best friends intensely worked in their aspiration to inspire confidence—most notably among women.
The story of the name Flyana Boss is as intriguing as their music. Bobbi LaNea and Folayan combined their middle names to kindle inventiveness, creating their unique moniker—Flyana- the infusion of the powerful mixture when working together. A touch more potent strength in self-identification and infallible confidence with a dash of authority would be the lady named “Boss” included.
Outside of their hit single “Hot Butter Summertime,” many other excellent tracks are doing the rounds and creating a dedicated fan following for them. Their viral hit single “You Wish” blazed through the internet in 2023, bearing popularity that people continue to count on daily as they upload quirky video after video on their TikTok account. Other songs that have tapped into high-energy environments include their hit single “Yeaaa” off their EP and “Trashboi” off their album “Make It A Double.”.
There seemed to be no less bump on the road to success for the Flyana Boss. The duo had to find their way in the overwhelming music business as independent artists, with mastery in most things: drawing up contracts, marketing strategies, etc. Building a brand and creating an identity for themselves in a fierce business is nothing close to being a walk in the park. Like many rising artists, they battled financial constraints, seeking resourceful ways to fund studio time, music videos, and promotional efforts.
Another challenge was balancing artistic expression and commercial appeal: being true to the vision while appealing to more people. In the face of rejection and doubt from labels and critics, they persevered, believing in their talent and message.
The journey to the pinnacle of Flyana Boss has been quite rocky. From managing financial constraints to cracking the puzzle of a music career, many challenges came their way. But determination and talent prevailed, making them an inspiration for any other artist. It is from within those tracks, such as “Miss Me,” speaking directly to willfulness in going past many adversities, or within such songs as “Trashboi” that tackle the trials of owning who one is; Flyana Boss’s music embodies power drawn from vulnerability, resilience, and empowerment.
Feeling confident—as they should—as they celebrate the drop of a new single and a fresh pregnancy, Flyana Boss is nowhere near stopping. Their mixture of TikTok fame, comedy, and colossal assurance keeps supporting them well on a global stage. Thumbs up to Folayan for the pregnancy and many more crazy sounds from this indefatigable duo!
