Asake who is a Nigerian singer, rapper, and songwriter was born Ahmed Ololade on the 13th of January 1995 and he is an outgoing member of one of the top record labels in Nigeria known as YBNL Nation.
Ahmed was signed to YBNL by the CEO of the record label known as Olamide, and it is worth noting at this point that Asake did not jut stumble on Olamide or reached out to him as most upcoming artist in Nigeria do, his musical effort endeared him to someone who introduced him to Olamide and it is that person we are going to look at in this post .
So without any further ado, let us get started.
Who introduced Asake to Olamide?
Music industry sources has repeatedly reported that it was Yhemolee who introduced Asake to Olamide after Asake himself has reached out to Olamide severally concerning a record deal on the grounds that he previously signed his friends Fire Boy and Chinko Ekun to the record label.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, he revealed that this introduction played a key role in Asake’s musical career progression, which lead to his being signed with Olamide’s YBNL record label.
Yhemolee is a Nigerian singer, actor and social media personality who was born Idowu Adeyemi on 4th of April 1993. And the reason we believe that it was Yhemolee who introduced Asake to Olamide is that he featured Asake and Chinko Ekun in his hit single which was titled “Mon Cheri “.
- But then,, most people dismiss the claim that it was Yhemolee who introduced Asake to Olamide on grounds that Asake did not even give a shout out to him during his wedding, neither did he even attend the event.
As we can see, networking is very important in the music business and when you look around you will discover that the first key to getting a record deal is to be connected to someone who is connected to someone in the music industry.
