Tobechukwu Victor Okoh (born 5 December 1989), known as Peruzzi, is a Nigerian singer. He began recording music after working with Rodney Malice at the age of seven. In 2017, he was signed to Davido's DMW imprint. In February 2018, Peruzzi was featured on 2Baba's single "Amaka".

Career

Peruzzi began his musical career with Golden Boy Records in 2016, before getting signed to Davido Music Worldwide in 2017. Peruzzi's 2018 single "Majesty", off his Heartwork EP featured a cameo appearance by 2018 Big Brother Naija runner up Cee-C. Prior to the release of "Majesty", the singer had been maligned by many social media users in Nigeria who claimed the singer only shines on featured songs. He featured on 2Baba's song "Amaka" in February 2018.

In August 2026, Peruzzi received songwriting credits on three tracks from Nigerian singer Davido's sixth studio album, Oriadé: "Guide," "I Know Who I Be," and "Already Falling." The 13-track album marked 15 years since Davido's professional music career began, blending themes of faith, love, gratitude, and personal growth.
