ABOUT AJURA
Ajura took a very
unconventional route to making music. He began as a dancer.
Born Daniel Alaba Ojamomi, in Ondo
State, Nigeria, he is the last child of a family of 8. Tragedy
struck early when he lost his dad at 3. But he forged on.
His early educatiuon was in Kabe
College, Ilogbo, where he picked up
dancing as an art of expression. He would later become popular as a member of
the school football team, picking up the nickname, 'Ojams 10'.
A lack of funding
limited his chances of becoming a professional footballer, although he had
support from his mother. But that support didn’t accompany his
decision to make music.
After discovering his
love for music, he dived into music production, dedicating his time and scarce
resources to creating art. He was later able to start earning from his craft
and providing for his family. Ajura, possessing a large
heart, would later finance projects for his talented friends, paying for studio
sessions and equipment. But his mother insisted on getting him more education,
which he did.
In 2013, Daniel got
admitted to Federal college of Education (Technical), Akoka, where he honed
his craft, polishing his talents amassing fans via releasing and
performing music. He graduated in 2016.
Ajura was signed to
G-Worldwide Entertainment in 2018. He has a diverse set of musical influences,
including luminaries such as Asa, D'banj, Wande Coal, Sugarboy, Burna Boy, Kiss
Daniel, Beyonce, Akon, Chris
Brown, and R. Kelly.
"He
sees music as a tool and agent of change, both physically and mentally. I want
to use my music to speak for the dumb, my lifestyle to influence the deaf and
my sound to open the inner eyes (minds) of the blind. He
says.

ABOUT
EASY JAY
Easy Jay watched his
parents go through a divorce as a kid. But that didn't stop him from finding
his path.
Born Oluwashola Raymond Oyekan,
in the ghetto of Mushin, Lagos State, he is the first child from a family of
three. At age 12, while in High School, his parents got a divorce and split up
the family. That would take a toll on the young man, who went through primary
education at Queen Maris International School, before moving to St. Saviours
International School.
Irrespective of the
breakup, he carried through his education, and found a way to move past the
hurt to keep loving his parents.
Music came to him in
middle school. At 13, he was already trying his hands at songwriting, and would use school
free periods as mime sessions. All of these got him the colourful nickname 'Sholi Akon'. He was
also popular for his rare accent and scintillating vocals.
His first recording
experience came in 2015, where he impressed in the studio, snagging an instant
management deal with the producer, which helped him get more music recorded and
developed his talent. That same year, he got into the Federal University of Technology,
Akure, where he is currently in line for a degree in Project Management.
Easy Jay was signed to G-Worldwide
Entertainment in 2018, and cites FelaKuti, 2face Idibia, Usher and Chris Brown
amongst others as his key influences. He's operates across genres, blending
elements from Alt-R&B, Highlife and Afro Pop.
"In few
years, I want to Inspire a young boy somewhere in Africa or anywhere
around the world watching on me on TV to say "I want to be just like Easy Jay," he says.
