December 22, (THEWILL) – Singer and songwriter, Adekunle Kosoko aka Adekunle Gold has recalled how he was signed to the YBNL record label owned by indigenous rapper, Olamide Adedeji.
Adekunle revealed that his breakthrough came after Philip Kayode Moses aka Pheelz, the renowned music producer, heard his song Sade and decided to share it with Olamide.
The 37-year-old added that Olamide listened to the track and did not hesitate to sign him.
He said, “Pheelz heard ‘Sade’ and sent it to Olamide. Olamide heard the song. We already had a relationship because I was already designing for him. I designed the YBNL logo and cover art for Lil Kesh and Vecor.
“Pheelz heard the song, sent it to him, and he was like, ‘I think you should sign this guy’. So, Olamide called me, signed me, and my life changed.”
In July, Adekunle expressed his gratitude to Olamide for seeing beyond his skills as a graphic designer and welcoming him into the YBNL family.
He later exited the record label after his contract had expired.
