Kindly Introduce Yourself?
My name is Olawale Samuel Olaitan popularly known as Cimo. I’m a Musician and a music producer.
Tell Us About Your Background?
I was born in Ibadan, Oyo State. My parents are from Osun state. I started my musical career when I was in primary school. I eventually made it to the studio when I was in JSS 2, when I recorded my first single song titled: Emujo which was produced by Rexrain. I produced my second song myself because I learned music production along the line. I’m much familiar with good sounds and can make good music.
What Inspired You Into Music?
What inspired me into music was my love for music and I always like to be creative. I used to have a group Of musical band called ‘JSG’ then. We made good freestyle together and along the way I discovered I have a nice melody which called everyone attentions, including my classmates in school then. They supported and appreciated my music then. That was how I started making music. I have so far produced Shitor, Queen of the Dance Floor, Face My Fear and Drunk in Love.
