ADEKUNLE GOLD IS A YEAR OLDER TODAY

Adekunle Kosoko, popularly known by his stage name Adekunle Gold, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and graphic designer, also known as the King Of PhotoShop among his peers. 

He describes his genre of music as urban highlife. His 2014 single "Sade" received massive airplays on various Nigerian radio stations. His follow-up single, titled "Orente", also received positive reviews from music critics and consumers. 

Adekunle Gold who has been working with YBNL as a graphic designer said in an interview that he didn't lobby to get signed to the label. “When I dropped Sade, Olamide apparently liked it and the whole of YBNL crew. So he called me and said he really likes my sound and he doesn’t want me to change my style. He later said he will like to work with me,” Said the hit artiste.

“I didn’t see it coming, I didn’t lobby for it or do whatsoever about it .I have always wanted someone to believe in me, I have been looking forward to that since. I just took it that way and the story changed,” he insisted.

The singer who also doubles as a graphics designer also explains the reason he was signed “I guessed it just worked because my music is indigenous too and then my sound identifies with the streets. I have been working with Olamide, I designed the YBNL logo and I have done a couple of deigns for the label before I got signed last year.
Since his arrival into the Nigerian Entertainment Industry has bagged two major awards to his name in 2015. Best Alternative Song at AFRIMA 2015 and "Best Alternative Song" category at The Headies 2015 for his song titled "Sade". He was nominated in the Most Promising Act of the Year category at the 2015 City People Entertainment Awards.
