The duo “SKUKI” is made up of two brothers, Tumi and Peeshaun, Tumininu was born on the 5th of July, while Atewo (aka Peeshaun) was born on the 4th of October. Even though there is a slight age difference between the two brothers; they are always treated like twins by family members, always getting them identical clothes and shoes as gifts. They had their primary education at the Staff School, University of Ibadan and also their secondary education at the International School, Ibadan. However, shortly after they started doing music professionally, they had to part ways to pursue their tertiary education.

Tumi went on to study Geography at the University of Lagos, while Atewo remained in Ibadan to study Law at the University of Ibadan. Despite the fact they spent 70% of their time apart, they still kept their musical interest well intact (being brothers that wasn’t hard).In the summer of 1999, during a conversation to coin a perfect stage name for their group, the name “2much” was initially adopted. But been unsatisfied with the name and a couple of others suggested by friends, Peeshaun mentioned a funny word that got everyone present laughing. He was asked what the funny new word meant and he claimed he had no idea and that it was just one of his spontaneous inspirations. That funny new word “SKUKI” is the name by which they are called today.
