Mayorkun’s journey in the music industry is nothing short of remarkable. He initially captured the spotlight with a cover of Davido’s hit single, Money, which caught the attention of the original artist himself, who discovered Mayorkun’s talent on Twitter. This chance encounter marked the beginning of a flourishing career.

In 2016, Mayorkun inked a deal with Davido’s record label, DMW, and released his debut single, Eleko, which quickly climbed the charts and cemented his place in the music scene. The artist continued to impress, and in November 2018, he dropped his first studio album, The Mayor of Lagos.

However, change was on the horizon for Mayorkun. In 2021, he parted ways with DMW, taking control of his own destiny in the music industry. This newfound independence allowed him to explore his musical horizons even further. He marked this transition with the release of Let Me Know and the launch of his second studio album, Back In Office, in October 2021. Under the Sony Music West Africa division, he continus to make waves and connect with a broader audience.
