Kolade Oludare Success was born to the family of Mr & Mrs Solomon Ogunkolade 24 years ago, I had my Primary/Secondary School in Osogbo Osun-State Nigeria, West Africa before I proceeded to a Music College where he obtained a Diploma in Music with first class honours and during my academy section it was recorded that I won a Gold medal once and Silver twice in both inter-state concert and inter-school Competition.
Immediately after my 3 years Diploma course in music I started organising shows and Musical concert cross across the country with my team named 'GBEDU BAND" and we have been making tremendous impact musically since then. In year 2000 I started organising a periodically stage performance show in different campuses and City in Nigeria till when I became Producing and promoting Music at my very best, especially in African style of Music and this what have been doing up till date.
Extra information :
'Afrobeat' is an instantly recognisable sound, which has been branded "The funkiest music ever". Typically Afrobeat songs are anything between 7 and 20 minutes long (live they can be even longer) and are characterised by a strong, repetitive rhythmic section, with saxophone and/or keyboard solos and call and response vocals. It is a proud, unashamedly African music where political and cultural issues are directly addressed. It is a format unfavoured by commercial radio stations where attention spans are short and controversial lyrics are discouraged, unless these make lots of money (eg Madonna or Eminem.)
