Adekunle Gold is a Nigerian born and bred singer-songwriter based between Lagos, Nigeria, and Los Angeles, CA. 

He gained recognition from his very first release, "Sade," a love song which sampled instrumentals from One Direction's "Story of My Life." Just two weeks after the release of "Sade" Adekunle was contacted by one of Africa's biggest acts, Olamide, to join his music imprint for two years, YBNL. 

Since then, Adekunle has released four albums: Gold (debuting at #7 on the Billboard World Albums Chart), About 30 (shortlisted for the GRAMMY® Best World Album), AfroPop Vol 1 with the global hit record "Okay” and “Something Different", and Catch Me If You Can.
