Ajura

Early Life:

Ajura was born Daniel Alaba Ojamomi, in Ondo State, Nigeria, he is the last child of a family of 8. Tragedy struck early when he lost his dad at 3. But he forged on. His early education was in Kabe College, Ilogbo, where he picked up dancing as an art of expression. He would later become popular as a member of the school football team, picking up the nickname, ‘Ojams 10’.

A lack of funding limited his chances of becoming a professional footballer, although he had support from his mother. But that support didn’t accompany his decision to make music.

Music Career:

After discovering his love for music, he dived into music production, dedicating his time and scarce resources to creating art. He was later able to start earning from his craft and providing for his family. Ajura, possessing a large heart, would later finance projects for his talented friends, paying for studio sessions and equipment. But his mother insisted on getting him more education, which he did.

Ajura was signed to <b>G-Worldwide Entertainment</b> in 2018. A skilled musician, his style traverses genres. He operates as a fusion artist, with elements drawn from Highlife, Afro Pop, Jazz, Hip-hop, Reggae, Dancehall, and R&amp;B.

Ajura sees art as a tool to inspire and effect change. “I want to use my music to speak for the dumb, my lifestyle to influence the deaf and my sound to open the inner eyes (minds) of the blind,” he says.
