MY  AUTO - BIOGRAPHY

My  name  is  Oladijo  Latifat  Oluwakemi. I  was  born  on  March 4, 1981  into  a  family  of  seven: three  males  and  four  females, to  Mr. & Mrs.  Oladijo, at  Lagos  Island; a  suburb  of  Lagos  State, Nigeria. I  grew  up  loving  music, but  I  love  dancing  to  Fuji  music - local  rhythm, ever  before  I  started  singing  in  the  choir.

I  would  say  it  was  my  love  for  Fuji  music  that  inspired  me  to  join  the  church  choir  at  the  tender  age  of  nine.

My  interest  in  Fuji  music  started  waning  as  foreign  music  started  to  have  influence  on  Nigeria  music; forcing  Fuji  to  lost  its  appeal. It  was  at  this  point  that  I  embraced  R & B  and  Hip-Hop  music. Albeit, I  have  been  endeared  to  this  piece  of  music

I  went  to  a  music  school  immediately  after  my  college  graduation  to  improve  on  my  musical  talent, because  I  have  come  to  know  that  talent  without  a  skill  would  not  take  you  far  in  a  market  that  does  not  promote  mediocrity.

I  play  in  clubs, parties  and  fringe  shows, where  the  C.E.O  of  Morelaff  Music  Label, in  what  he  described  as  a  superlative  perfomance, spotted  me. As  it  is  with  everything, you  always  want  a  step  higher. I  desire  an  international  recognition.

Since  I  am  good  and  believe  in  my  capabilities, which  always  make  me  hold  my  own  in  any  terrain, I  believe  I  can  do  and  make   it  on  the  international  scene  too.

                                               Thanks.....

Your musical influences

I  grew  up  loving  music, but  I  love  dancing  to  Fuji  music -- a  local  tune, ever  before  I  started  singing  in  the  church  choir.
