in 1992 I did back up for so many artist like funmi Aragbaye , kunle ,yinka and
Ayo balogun.later on I joined a popular group called Iroko band owned by Dr Ola
Balogun. It was during my time with this band that I had a change in level. we
went to perform for some one celebrating his birthday and after the event, Yemi
shodimu who was at the event approached me and told me that I was good and
asked if I have done anything on my own and I replied him that I have some
demos –so he told me that we should arrange for a meeting and I should bring
those demos .So we met as planned at LTV 8 with him , Alloy production and
Gbenga Adegboye .After the meeting I joined alloy production and I spent 9years
with him and released 2 album with the first Eladami and the second Jesumi Ose
.After I left alloy production I decided to start my own record label, named
