YINKA AYEFELE

Olayinka Joel Ayefele, born February 1, 1968, is a renowned Nigerian gospel musician, producer, and media entrepreneur. A native of Ipoti-Ekiti, he began his career as a journalist and broadcaster at FRCN, Ibadan.

His life took a dramatic turn in 1997 when a severe car accident left him in a wheelchair. This "bitter experience" became the title of his debut album, released in 1998, which launched his music career. He pioneered the "Gospel Tungba" genre, blending traditional Yoruba music with gospel themes.

Ayefele's discography includes hits like "Sweet Experience," "Something Else," and "Divine Intervention." Beyond music, he founded Fresh FM, a popular radio network in southwestern Nigeria.

A recipient of over 200 awards, including the Member of the Order of the Niger (MON), Ayefele is married to Temitope Titilope, with whom he had triplets in 2019 after 22 years of marriage. His story is one of resilience, turning personal tragedy into a source of inspiration and success.
