As a prominent young Nigerian artiste, Reekado
Banks has worked with the cream of the Nigerian
music industry including Don Jazzy, Illbliss, Tiwa
Savage, Olamide, Korede Bello, Di’Ja and Wale.
The story of his rise to prominence however, has
not been smooth, as the Mavin Records recording
artiste disclosed during a #MySuperStarStory
interview.

Born Solomon Ayoleyi Hanniel, the Ondo State
indigene revealed that after informing his parents
of his intention to pursue a career in music and
getting their blessing, he had to hawk blenders in
traffic and work as a manual labourer at a
construction site in a bid to earn some money to
use to record.

He also revealed that at one point, a lecturer at
the university told him that he will never make it
after preventing him from retaking a test he
missed.

His turning point came with the Mavin Records
audition where he was picked out of over 5,000
hopefuls. The dreadlocked act, now popular for
his ballad “Katapot” credited this triumph to
God. In his words, “There is no amount of
sacrifice that was enough to get me something
this big.”

Oh yes. Life isn't a smooth ride. You have to work hard to get up the ladder. Now he's made it. All those days of long suffering has been overshadowed by success and happiness

the most important thing is that he's making it..

Nice to know. You will Excel don't worry.
