Adedeji Adetajo was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. Music found its way into Adedeji’s heart at the early age of 5, when he joined the church choir, and by the age of 10, he was leading the choir, even though he was largely self-taught. Later, he worked prolifically as a backing vocalist, and also produced works of local artists in Nigeria.

By the time he was 18, his voice could be heard all over Nigeria, in radio jingles and adverts and on movie soundtracks. He studied music technology at the Polytechnic Ibadan and creative art at the University of Lagos. He has a degree in Performance from the London College of Music and is a graduate of the Jazz Guitar/Vocals Dpt at Prince Claus Conservatoire, Netherlands, where he won the 2012 VNO NCW Noord Talent Award.

In 2007 he relocated to Greece where he started performing as a singer and guitarist, and featured artist in many diverse projects and albums.

Adedeji Adetajo’s music is an infusion of traditional African music with a progressive attitude and modern sound of jazz, funk and soul music, creating music that is rhythmically and technically sophisticated, harmonically rich, and melodically compelling. Among his evident influences are George Benson, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Parker, King Sunny Ade, and Fela Kuti.

His debut album “Ajo” was released in 2015 and in 2017 he released a follow-up double Album with the title “Afreekanism.

He is a founding member of the group Datfunk, with which he released the album "Steppin' Up" in 2016.
