As a prominent young Nigerian artiste, Reekado Banks has worked with the
cream of the Nigerian music industry including Don Jazzy, Illbliss,
Tiwa Savage, Olamide, Korede Bello, Di’Ja and Wale. The story of his
rise to prominence however, has not been smooth, as the Mavin Records
recording artiste disclosed during a #MySuperStarStory interview.
Born Solomon Ayoleyi Hanniel, the Ondo State indigene revealed that
after informing his parents of his intention to pursue a career in music
and getting their blessing, he had to hawk blenders in traffic and work
as a manual labourer at a construction site in a bid to earn some money
to use to record.
He also revealed that at one point, a lecturer at university told him
that he will never make it after preventing him from retaking a test he
missed.
His turning point came with the Mavin Records audition where he was
picked out of over 5,000 hopefuls. The dreadlocked act, now popular for
his ballad “Katapot” credited this triumph to God. In his words, “There
is no amount of sacrifice that was enough to get me something this big.”
