On the 20th of January 2010,the entertainment industry gathered together to celebrate one of their own - Timi Dakolo at an event held to celebrate his Birthday, Video Premiere and Album listening. The three-in-one event which was put together by Timi's management had the heavyweights of the industry in attendance. People like Obi Asika - CEO of Storm Records, Julius Agwu, Segun Demuren of EME (BankyW's record label), AK-One, Tola Odunsi, Emem Ema and so many more. Artistes also came out to show their support for the talented singer, they include Rooftop MCs, Omawumi, Djinee, Kaffy, Eric Arubayi, Ibiyemi, Sasha, Loose Kaynon, Jesse Jagz, Ice prince amongst several others. It indeed was a star studded event.

The event which was hosted by Tosyn Bucknor kicked off with performances by gifted up and coming artistes like Hakym The Dream, Gbolahan before the Rooftop MCs took over and rocked the house. The birthday boy arrived just in time to cut his many birthday cakes and thereafter swung into his performances. He rendered songs from the forthcoming album titled 'TIMI' to a very well pleased audience. The surprise guest of the night was Cobhams Asuquo who arrived just in time to perform a track from the album titled 'Raise the Roof' which certainly got everyone raising the roof!

The video shot by Bobby Boulders of the Ako mi ti po ju fame was next on the programme of events. The video was shot here in Nigeria with appearances by Zara, Iceprince, Lami, Waje, YQ,and of course Jesse Jagz.
