Oluwaseun Adeyemi (Songwriter and Sound Engineer): Let’s get to know you?

Q: Oluwaseun, can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in music?

A: Sure! My journey in music started right from childhood. Growing up, I was heavily influenced by my uncle, Beautiful Nubia, whose music and passion left a deep impression on me. Spending time with him in the studio and watching him perform opened my eyes to the power of storytelling in music. My musical journey continued when I started playing the drums at church—something about the rhythm pulled me in. By the time I reached secondary school, I’d already started experimenting with sound engineering, mixing recordings for fun, and finding my own way around production.

There’s so much talent out there, and I try to draw inspiration from everyone I listen to.
