Oritsefemi, the third child of his mother, was born and raised in a polygamous family of 25 in Ajegunle.


He briefly attended Mayday Secondary School in Ikoyi and switched to Tolu Primary School in Ajegunle due to his parents not being able to maintain the high cost of schooling in the affluent
neighborhood of Ikoyi. He completed his elementary education at Army Children School. He attained his secondary school certificate from Randle Secondary School and applied

He later released his third album Elewon which translates to Chase Them in English. He started singing
about corrupt political leaders and wanted to chase them out of office.

His second solo album, titled Wicked World, was about the wickedness in the world. According to him, the hit track from the album “Mercy of the Lord” was inspired by his personal experiences with worldly things and how the prayers of his mom was able to salvage him by awakening the Spirit of God in him.
