Adédokun Rufai is a Nigerian-American singer, song-writer, producer, actor, web-designer, and tech enthusiast named after his great-grandfather, Adedokun, who escaped slavery in Nigeria through family inflicted scarring as a baby. European invaders wanted untarnished children to use for free labour. His great-grand father, Adedokun Ayoku, grew old to be a world-traveled sailor, chef, & musician.
Originally born in Northside Hospital in Atlanta, GA, Adédokun also goes by the nickname, Adé, which means "crown" whilst his full name means "My wealth is as vast as the sea." His great grandfather was dubbed that because of his adventures on the ocean. Adédokun carries his roots in his music through soulful, sensual Neo soul, Jazz, gospel, alternative, contemporary R&B, and rhythmic afrobeats, writing, and production. He intoxicates his listeners with smooth harmonies, catchy hooks, and has dawned the front cover of the Jackson Progress Argus Newspaper for his vocals.
Adedokun has released an R&B single on Youtube which has garnered 10K views and 100 followers. This song encapsulates urban females of all races and politics, between the ages of 18-50. In more popular slang, he writes R&B for "the grown and sexy."
Adedokun has a smooth, clean cut appeal. He is inspired by Jamie Foxx, D’Angelo, Imogen Heap, and Tank. He keeps a strict bodybuilding regimen to maintain his appeal to fitness media. The next project contains the bulk of his copyrighted music from Reverbnation & Soundcloud.
