What is Solek music about?
Soleks' music stem from my educational background and my influences. His music is a combination of both traditional and modern day Yoruba music with a twist of (Fuji juju, pop R&B, and hip-hop fused together to create a unique style of his own which most musicians in his calibre don't do.
