Early Life and Musical Roots

Mayorkun’s story begins in Osun State, where his family’s entertainment roots played a crucial role in shaping his destiny. Born into a family of entertainers, Mayorkun’s mother, Toyin Adewale, is a renowned Nollywood actress, while his father, Sunday Adewale, was an artist and movie producer. Growing up surrounded by creativity, Mayorkun developed an early interest in music and honed his skills in the church choir, where he learned the fundamental elements of music.

Despite pursuing a degree in accounting, Mayorkun couldn’t ignore the irresistible pull of music. While working in the banking sector, he devoted his spare time to dropping freestyles and covers of songs by notable artists, showcasing his diverse musical abilities.

The Davido Encounter

In a twist of fate, Mayorkun’s life took a monumental turn when he released a cover of Davido’s “The Money.” This cover caught the attention of the DMW boss, Davido, who recognized the raw talent in Mayorkun. Invited to join the DMW record label, Mayorkun seized the opportunity and released his first official single, “Eleko,” under the label.

Family

Mayorkun’s family serves as a cornerstone in his life and career. As the first of three siblings, he shares his familial roots with his younger brother, Ayobami Samuel Adewale, and his sister, Morenikejimi Adesewa Adewale. His mother, Toyin Adewale, often expresses her love and support for her children on social media, referring to them as “Gifts and Testimonies.”

Awards and Accolades

Mayorkun’s musical prowess has not gone unnoticed, earning him numerous awards and nominations. In 2016, shortly after signing with DMW, he clinched The Headies Rookie of the Year and City People Entertainment Awards’ Most Promising Act. The momentum continued into 2018 and 2019, with victories at The Headies and recognition at the Nigerian Teen Choice Awards.

DMW Affiliation

Signed to Davido’s DMW, Mayorkun’s musical journey took a monumental leap. The synergy between the two artists resulted in hits like “Eleko” and showcased Mayorkun’s unique style. His mother, initially skeptical of his musical pursuits, later embraced his choice when she learned of Davido’s invitation. The collaboration even extended to a song featuring Mayorkun and his mother, adding a personal touch to his catalog.

Lifestyle and Achievements

Mayorkun, often referred to as the “Mayor of Lagos,” gained fame as a DMW artist. Despite his celebrity status, he is known for maintaining a low profile, expressing a preference for solitude. In his hit song “Certified Loner,” released in 2022, he affirms this sentiment, declaring, “I’m good on my own, and I have made peace with my soul.” Renowned as one of Nigeria’s most creative artists, Mayorkun has become a symbol of artistic excellence.

Wife and Kids

In contrast to his public persona, Mayorkun keeps his romantic relationships strictly private.

Net Worth

Beyond his musical achievements, Mayorkun has carved a niche for himself as one of Nigeria’s wealthiest young musicians. With an estimated net worth of $1 million, he owns an impressive fleet of cars, including a Range Rover, a Mercedes Benz CLA250 AMG, a Porsche Panamera Turbo, a Mercedes Benz 4matic, and two Toyota Prado SUVs. In 2018, he made headlines for acquiring a house valued at approximately N200 million. You can connect with him on Instagram.
