Ademola Adefolahan, who performs as Fireboy DML, grew up in Abeokuta, Nigeria. He studied English and Literature at Obafemi Awolowo University while writing his own songs, drawing from influences like Fela Kuti and Asa.
His 2018 single "Jealous" gained attention online and led to a deal with YBNL Nation, the label founded by Olamide. Fireboy's debut album "Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps" came out in 2019, followed by "Apollo" in 2021.
Some of his more recent tracks include "Peru," which features Ed Sheeran, and "Bandana" with Asake. His music often blends Afrobeat with soul and R&B textures.
