History[edit]
2017–2019: Founding, early releases and rise in popularity
FOREVATIRED was formed in 2017 in Abuja, Nigeria by FAITH (Faith Idaminabo) along with Mark, Rookie SBK (Rookie Agufore), RUNA (Faruna Shed), Pharoah (Majovo David Imogu), Golddrummachine (Tobe Oti), Brumeh (Brumeh Dennis Oghenekaro), Burgundy and Pablo. Faith initially intended FOREVATIRED to be an online blog. Much of the collective's early music was recorded in a room of Mark's mum's backyard in their suburban Abuja home. On August 28, 2018, FOREVATIRED released their first demo, At The End Of Summer.
In August 2019, two years after its inception, FOREVATIRED welcomed members Etienne(Etienne Ben-Okagbue) and Rocki Monsta(Robert Akintunde). The two were part of the London-based group "VSOP Areaboys" aka "VAREABOYS". In the December of that year, and marking a new chapter, the group went on to release their second demo project titled "Before You Kill Us All". That month also saw the welcoming of member Sham.
