What makes a complete music artiste? I bet some of you would say it is the ability to sing or perform on stage but the truth is, there a lot more to the music artiste than putting out hit songs. There’s what we call imagery – this is how the artiste carries and projects him/herself so as to be received by the fans. The corporate people will call this branding.  We live in a world where your musical talent or your voice isnt good enough to make you the people’s choice. Talent coupled with other factors makes you the artist you’ve always wanted to be and one of the factors is Fashion.

Having fashion being an integral part of the artiste image, we profile 10 Nigerian male musicians who are power dressers.

Of course everyone has his or her own style but these ones make us fall in love with them all over again each time they make a new appearance.

Adekunle is not out there to dress or look like anyone. He’s got his own style and mostly wears what makes him comfortable. Whether he’s performing in Lagos with complete Yoruba attire with his fila abe eti aja (translated as dog eared cap) or chilling in regular street wear in faraway Atlanta. Adekunle Gold is one of those few that successfully carved out their own style but then its not just about bringing your own style, its about bringing something remarkably unique, stylish and fashionable.  Adekunle Gold took ordinary local attire that people barely notice and created an extraordinary style from it, that’s creativity in action. If there’s one thing we love about Adekunle Gold is his uniqueness and creativity in style, this king of photo-shop is the king of fashion.
