Kolawole Seun Akindele, a talented musician from Lagos, has shared his inspiring story of passion, perseverance, and determination in the music industry. Born in Lagos and later relocating to Abuja at the age of six, Akindele’s love for music began at an early age, influenced by his dad’s Fuji playlist.
Despite his mom’s focus on academics, Akindele couldn’t ignore his passion for music. In 2012, he faced a pivotal moment that would define his path in the industry. With only 4,000 Naira, he convinced a producer to let him record a song, which impressed the studio and led to his breakthrough.
Akindele’s journey is marked by relentless pursuit and dedication to his craft. He has collaborated with notable artists like Small Doctor and Ajebutter 22 and is committed to making the most of his opportunities in the music industry.
However, Akindele also acknowledges the industry’s potential pitfalls, such as the glamorization of drug use and reckless behavior, financial barriers, and inequitable opportunities. He advocates for promoting positive role models, supporting independent artists, education, and awareness, and fair practices.
Akindele is excited about his upcoming single, “OJORO,” which addresses the limitations people face while trying to achieve their dreams, and his EP, “UNDERDOG,” which dives into the journey of being underestimated and rising above challenges. With his inspiring story and passion for music, Akindele is set to make a positive impact on the industry.
