    Y Pick drops new single

    MULTI-TALENTED recording artiste and guitarist, Adetoye Adeyemi, aka Y Pick, has released the guitar cover of a popular gospel praise song, When Jesus Say Yes.

    Presently, the single, which was released December 25, 2014, has garnered over 34,000 views on the social media.

    According to the artiste, the song, When Jesus Say Yes, has received wide acceptability and it is currently enjoying a massive air play. He said the song preaches Jesus.

    “No matter what you are going through, when Jesus says yes, nobody can say no. The song is to let people know that there is God and he is the only one that can do it,” he said.

    Adetoye, who has been in music professionally for about four years, said the release has received a lot of comments, adding that it is a great job on his part but noted that the promotion is still ongoing.

    The artiste appreciated his parents who he said have always been of help in his desire to pursue a career in music, even though they are not musicians. “No one really inspires an upcoming guitarist. I just come out on my own, try to stand out and let the world know that I can stand and perform as an artiste on my own in the presence of crowd,” Y Pick added.

    He also revealed that he intends to release at least one album before the end of the year, which will feature some notable celebrities.

    To his credit, he has dropped several covers which have given him more platforms to work and perform with reputable and well-known artistes within and outside the country.
