Upwardly mobile singer and Samba juju music creator, Aje
Success, who recently released his debut album, ‘Fayegbami,’ has revealed the
secret behind the creation of his genre of music.
Born Opeyemi Busuyi in Ekiti State, Efon Alaye precisely,
Aje Success started his sojourn in music as a talking drummer, playing for the
likes of Yinka Best and Dele Taiwo, and he was indeed adjudged one of the best
talking drummers around.
After many years of polishing his craft and listening to
inspirational cuts from the likes of Evangelist Ojo Ade, Orlando Owoh, Dayo
Kujore, Ebenezer Obey and King Sunny Ade, Aje Success decided to follow his
real passion –singing.
“It was really a good experience playing the talking drum
for Yinka Best and Dele Taiwo, but singing has always been my passion, and I
actually discovered the full potential 12 years ago. Since then, there is
nothing stopping me,” Aje Success reminisced.
He further explained that “I branded my genre of music as
Samba Juju because if you listen, it is a good blend of the original samba
music and juju. It is quite danceable and entertaining. Besides, this is just
one of the numerous steps I have taken to carve a niche for myself.”
