Kayode is a versatile artiste. The singer is not subjected to the school of thought that believes an artist should stick to one genre, as he could pull up without with sounds from different genres like Afropop, Drill, Trap, which all are determined by his feelings. Kay-kay was once asked on the inspiration behind his hit single “live forever” and he revealed the record came to him as easily as it sounds and was birthed by images of a good time out clubbing and the euphoric feel of riding in a Beamer on Third Mainland Bridge long after rush hours.
The artiste has been co-signed and endorsed by a couple of OGs in the game like Reminisce. Post ‘live forever’, Kay has gone on to drop songs like ‘Blessed’, ‘I don’t want your love’ and recently, ‘Superstar’ the latter was produced by Godomar. He has also been able to grace the stage of some of the top events in Lagos like Mainland and Island block party, Homecoming and a couple more. He also was one of the lineup acts at Bella Shmurda’s recent gig at Ibadan.
