Melodious guitar chord progressions, lovely harmonies, a beautiful voice to go with a handsome energetic and charismatic young man. His first single, “Dreamer” which was produced by Waltbanger made it to major charts across the continent. His second single “Truly” which also had a wonderful video did just the same. The album titled “The Truth” is due to be released before the end of the first half of 2009.

The R&B vocalist, real name Gbemiro Olaolu Oluwatokunboh Akigbogun who hails from Ogun State grew up with his Mom and his siblings. Growing up, he was pretty much left on his own as his Mom had to work hard to support the family but instead of tumbling down the wrong path, he took up a productive vocation…music. He started playing the guitar in 2003 and was part of several groups, which performed at several churches. They served as a stepping stone to where he’s at now.

In 2005, after performing at a Valentine’s Day show, he was approached by comedian Omobaba who liked his music, took him under his wing and gave him the hook up for several shows. That same year, he met Dare Art Alade who introduced him to Obi Asika of Storm records where he got signed in July 2005.
