COME August 27, gospel artist, Kunle Ajomale will be celebrating his 30 years on stage.
In a chat with The Nation, Ajomale reveals his musical journey.
“I would say that my career as a gospel music artiste started in 1994, but I have been in music since 1987. I recorded my first album Erinwo (translated in English, it means ‘an elephant has fallen’) in the same year. I dedicated the album to Chief Obafemi Awolowo. It was, in fact, a tribute to him, especially for recognising and appreciating my talent when I was in the university.
“The album won an award and the title song was also broadcast on radio during Awolowo’s funeral. I felt very proud listening to my own work on the radio. I was playing highlife music in those days,” he said.
