Tukki means journey.

In Wolof, tukki means to travel. Not the kind of travel that ends at a hotel — the kind that becomes a name, a posture, a reason to sing.

Tukki Lamine Diao, aka Tukkiman, is an award-winning, internationally acclaimed Senegalese singer, songwriter, actor, writer, sound engineer and producer. His sound is a living mixture of Afrobeats, Assiko, Reggae, Hip Hop, and Pop — lush, melodic, powerful, and knowing no borders.

Tukkiman creates for the sake of love, peace, equality, respect, and justice. He founded TUKKI LLC, an independent music label releasing music and multimedia — bringing communities together and building a global fan base, one song at a time.

Africa raised the prayer. Chicago raised the rhythm. The songs you hear here belong to the people who carry their roots like luggage and their dreams like a passport.

The Tukki Music exists because the artist refused to wait for permission. Every track is self-released. Every show is booked by his team. Every fan who joins The Club is supporting a musician directly — no middlemen, no labels, no gatekeepers.

"If the road is long, sing louder."
