Aside from the music, his branding is out of this world.If you appreciate what the modern music business is all about perhaps you will fall in love with Asake the most. Confidence. Cocky. Controversial. Pure class identity! What more makes a better identity in today’s music world?
While Asake’s brand is a good sell as far as the global music industry is concerned, Asake’s music is the greatest sell. And I ask again, what can we learn from this serial hit maker?
I would simply say that Asake found his mojo for making good music. He found for himself a charm for doing music effortlessly. His fancy for bubbly songs, especially tweaking with a mix of Afrobeats and Amapiano sounds, stood him out. His creativity and delivery remains top-notch.
A careful listen to ‘Ayeeza’, Asake’s debut single of September, 2018, you definitely would grasp one thing – a man really enthusiastic about expressing himself through music.
However, fast forward to 2nd of February, 2022, the YBNL star proved his ability to evolve his game with his debut EP titled “Ololade Asake”.
