Biography
Early life
Titiyo was born in Stockholm, Sweden, to Ahmadu Jah, a Sierra Leonean drummer, and Maylen Bergström. She is the half-sister of singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry and stepsister to Eagle-Eye Cherry. She grew up in Solna.
Musical career
Titiyo discovered her own singing abilities when invited by her older sister to sing with her at a studio in London. She fronted her own band in 1987 and played the Stockholm circuit, and signed with a local label, Telegram, in 1989. She also sang background vocals for a range of Swedish artists, including Army of Lovers and Jakob Hellman. In 1989, Titiyo released her self-titled debut album, which topped at #3 in Sweden, and was released in the United States on Arista, and became one of the contributions to a Swedish R & B wave in the US that lasted throughout the nineties. The single "My Body Says Yes" was a hit in North America, and "Talking to the Man in the Moon" reached #6 in the Swedish charts; the subsequent single, "After the Rain," reached #13.

Right Or Wrong
by: TitiyoYou're playing with fire
I'm getting, oh, so tired
You need to slow down
You're spinning me around
You're playing with fire
You're a good, good liar
I need to hold on
I've got to be strong, I've gotta fight
'Cause if loving you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
I just wanna be right by your side
You're playing with fire
Make me go, go higher
I need to hold on
I've gotta be strong and I gotta fight
If loving you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
I just wanna be right by your side
And I need a reason to believe you
And you need a reason to receive me
I really hope I'm wrong
