In 2013, long before YBNL discovered him and Nigerians fell in love with his urban highlife songs, singer Adekunle Gold was just a young artist, sweating it out as a sculptor and aspiring graphic artist with big dreams.
“Ceramist, sculptor, brand developer, graphic artist, SINGER,” he wrote way back in 2013. “You’d agree that I’m a ‘man of the arts’. Save this picture. You’ll join me in saying my success story soonest.
Three years later, at the 2015 edition of the Headies Awards, the ‘Shade’ singer won the award for Best Alternative Song, beating the likes of Asa and Bez. Before then, at the 2015 AFRIMA awards, he won the Revelation of the year award.
This amazing story of dedication reminds us of pop star Ed Sheeran who tweeted in 2011 that he had a big plan. “Give me a few years,” Sheeran wrote, “I’ve got some big plans.”
A year later, his album ‘X’ went platinum, he won the BRIT awards and has received several Grammy nominations, and he is now the UK’ biggest contemporary pop star.

So, is this all about predicting? They had a dream, and then went to work. Anything is possible if you believe it and work for it!
