Discography
ARTISTIC EVOLUTION
KING MOLA’S MUSICAL JOURNEY WAS IGNITED BY THE INDELIBLE INFLUENCE OF HIS LATE CHILDHOOD FRIEND, OWOJORI ADEYINKA. TOGETHER, THEY EMBARKED ON AN EXHILARATING JOURNEY, CRAFTING MELODIES UNDER THE SHELTERING CANOPY OF TREES, GATHERINGS IN SCHOOL AND SHOWCASING MORE OF THEMSELVES IN PALM WINE JOINTS.
FOR KING MOLA, MUSIC IS MORE THAN AN ENDEAVOR; IT IS AN INNATE GIFT, AN INTRINSIC PART OF HIS BEING. THE EARLY STAGES OF HIS JOURNEY WERE MARKED BY FORMIDABLE CHALLENGES, TIMES WHEN SELF-DOUBT AND CREATIVE HURDLES THREATENED TO OVERSHADOW HIS PATH. YET, THROUGH UNWAVERING DETERMINATION, KING MOLA EMERGED, A TESTAMENT TO THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF PERSEVERANCE.
HIS DEBUT SINGLE, “LOCAL LOVE,” WHICH FEATURED HIS LABEL SIGNEES AT THE TIME BOLSTERED HIS SELF-ASSURANCE
AND DETERMINATION TO CONTINUE IN HIS MUSICAL JOURNEY. WITH EACH SUBSEQUENT MUSICAL RELEASE, HIS SOUND EVOLVED AND DEMONSTRATED CONSISTENT IMPROVEMENT. PRESENTLY, HE HAS METAMORPHOSED INTO ONE OF THE MOST COVETED AFRO FUJI POP ARTISTS IN THE INDUSTRY.
AWARDS
THROUGHOUT HIS ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER, KING MOLA'S CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED WITH A PLETHORA OF AWARDS. WHILE HE REMAINS MODEST ABOUT HIS ACHIEVEMENTS, HIS COMMITMENT TO MUSICAL EXCELLENCE HAS GARNERED HIM A PLACE OF DISTINCTION IN THE INDUSTRY.
GENRE
KING MOLA’S DISTINCTIVE GENRE, APTLY TERMED “AFRO FUJI POP,” EXEMPLIFIES HIS VERSATILITY AND DEDICATION TO CREATING DIVERSE MUSICAL EXPERIENCES. IT IS A GENRE THAT SERVES AS A VIBRANT TAPESTRY INTERWEAVING ELEMENTS OF AFROBEAT, HIGHLIFE, FUJI AND HIP-HOP. HE POSSESS THE VERSATILITY TO PERFORM ACROSS A WIDE SPECTRUM OF MUSICAL GENRES. HIS CHOICE IS CONTINGENT UPON FACTORS SUCH AS THE PREVAILING MOOD, THE INSTRUMENTAL ARRANGEMENT, AS WELL AS THE UNDERLYING MESSAGE AND SOURCE OF INSPIRATION EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SONG.
DISCOGRAPHY
