Wunmi Aboderin met Tunde Obe while an undergraduate at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in 1988 where she was pursuing a degree in Philosophy. Tunde, an undergraduate of Lagos State University (LASU) was pursuing a degree in History Education. Wunmi met him when she officially joined the UNILAG band Turning Point in which Tunde was already lead singer. The two became friends. The band separated when its members graduated but Tunde and Wunmi stayed together.
They first sang as a duet in Sealed. It was a success and they decided to work on an album. T.W.O got their first recording contract from Zmirage in 1997 and their debut Album Sealed was released in 1998. The album was produced by Albert Kalu. It contained the songs “Tomorrow”, “The Way”, and “Jafunmi”, a remake of King Sunny Adé’s song.
Before Sealed was released, T.W.O had featured on The Charly Boy Show for about six years while Tunde had featured in a few Nigerian movies. At this time, they were trying to rebrand themselves as singers rather than actors.
