But there is something striking and unique about Wasiu Ayinde’s performance style, mannerisms and audience engagement that made me fall in love effortlessly with his art and personality.

I go all out to give them memorable moments with my music at all times.
Irrespective of how much I am expanding my network of fans in the United States, I still connect with my fans in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Canada, and all over Europe via social media platforms such as Instagram @k3dfuture and YouTube with username k3defutureband. I let them watch my live performances from time to time.”
