Adeniyi Adegeye, son of King Sunny Ade, born on Christmas day on the 24th
of December in Lagos is now set to hit the music waves with his own brand
of juju music. Popularly known as Prince
Sunny Ade by his fans, the prince is very active in the live music performances
preforming at parties and staging his own shows.
Many of his father and his own growing fans
heavily attended his recent shows at Ikorodu area of Lagos where he is based.
According to him, he plays his father’s brand of juju music with a mixture of
American styled Rapp music.
‘‘My
dad, king Sunny Ade inspires me. When I was growing up, I never knew I could
sing or rapp. I fell in love with my father’s guitar playing and his heavy
rhythm juju beats. 2pac Amaru Shakur music also has a lot messages and o\so I
listened to his music a lot especially when I went to the United States.’’
Speaking
further PSA said he wished to be known worldwide with his style of music, which
he called, JuHip. His sojourns to the
United States exposed him to a lot of Rapp music. ‘I noticed that Rapp music is
more popular in the states than in Nigeria. They are not exposed to the talking
drums as we see in Juju and Fuji music back here in Nigeria. That is the
advantage I have, I want to infuse both into my style and that is why I called
it JuHip. It’s a fusion of Rapp and Juju music,’’
