Elejire’s Debut Underway

Kehinde Samuel otherwise called Elejire Ekiti, has joined the league of Ekiti indigenous musicians as his debut nears completion.

The house painter turned musician disclosed that he began music ten years ago in his quest to immortalise his late father, who was equally a musician.

Samuel stated further that the yet-to-be-named album promises to be successful because artistes in that genre are few compared to the population of Ekiti people across the nation.

Elejire, who hails from Ilesa but lived with his parents in Aramoko Ekiti, performs every Sunday at Jolly Friends Hotel, Ojodu Abiodun and looks up to Ogunyemi Elemure, Dele Maltina and Femi Ariyo as his role models.
