[Adekunle Gold](https://www.instagram.com/adekunlegold/), Nigeria’s golden voice, is using afropop-highlife music to intimately express and simultaneously mainstream his native roots. His vivacious tracks juxtaposed to heartfelt vocals create a seamless symbiotic relationship that illuminated Afro Nation, the biggest urban music beach festival in Europe earlier this August. Music is clearly a soulful passion of his - yet his passion of the arts doesn’t stop there. An outspoken fashion connoisseur, Adekunle is known for championing the work of Nigerian fashion designers and jewellers. Watch the video for his newest single, [_“Kelegbe Megbe”_ here!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=MucSft25l6I)
_“Resting like a king before I set the crowd on fire."_
_"I love dressing up for my fans and its especially important that I wear the designs of upcoming Nigerian designers and help them gain some exposure."_
_“It always makes me nervous but excited to hear the crowd before I step on stage."_
_“I have my game face on. I’m fully in performance mode now. I want to give the best experience I can"_
_“You can’t help but move and whine to music from Africa. Our music rhythms are literally food for the soul."_
_“The energy of the crowd at a festival just can’t compare to anything else in the world.”_
_“Nothing makes me more happy than to see a crowd full of black faces. Seeing us all congregate together and being ourselves is so heartwarming and special."_
_“I was in my zone right here - looking right into the crowd"_
