Akinwale’s journey started as a young musical prodigy. The talented musician kicked off his career as a drummer at age 9. He was also the lead singer at his juvenile choir in Lagos. At the age of 12 he was the only young Hawaiian lap steel guitarist in his Yoruba community and at the age of 17, he switched into the conventional guitar to accompany his singing in a bid to take his musical career to the next level.
During Akinwale’s early days, he was one of the most appreciated and famous guitarists in the hood he resides but this is nothing close to what the performer wanted, as his dream is to take his rare talent beyond the shores of his beloved country Nigeria. This seemingly tall dream became a reality in no time as Akin successfully migrated to Johannesburg SA in 2012 after studying PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION at the Lagos state university in 2012, at the age of 24.
