CELEB GIST: MAYORKUN - All you need to know about him

Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel also known as Mayorkun is a 22 year old graduate of the University of Lagos who was crazy enough to quit his banking job for a record deal with Davido. Born to a family of talented entertainers, Mayorkun’s mother is veteran Yoruba actress,
Toyin Adewale and his father is songwriter, actor, director and live band performer, Segun Adewale.
  Mayorkun is mixbag of talent whose Fuji influenced patois is the perfect fit for diversity in Davido’s HKN label. He shares the same rhythmic wisps with Adekunle Gold but he distincts his music with light weight lyrics and a simplistic call and response pattern as we heard on his debut single Eleko, a preppy feel good loosely based around a Yoruba limerick of the same title.
We only have one single to follow up on, but the songwriting on Eleko works succinctly as Mayorkun subtly hints at a lyrical depth without being pretentious about his intent. He makes a song that you can dance to without thinking too deeply about any poesy or subtext layered under the lyrics about his corn cereal-selling mother’s head and a girl who dismissed his wooing pitch and wrote him off as a broke guy.
Mayorkun is what Adekunle Gold would sound like if the industry didn’t do too much to convince him of his “alternativeness” and that on its own is a great pitch for originality points for him.
We will be keeping a close eye on his evolution in the industry, but in the mean time, we’re still dancing to Eleko.
