EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND
Mayokun Awodumi la(May D) was born in Lagos, Nigeria to a family of seven (5 boys).
He hails from Ekiti State Nigeria.
A University of Lagos Mass Communication graduate, May D's romance with music started with him watching Micheal Jackson as a kid and later grew with his frequent mime performances while he was in King's College Lagos.
He started building his career as a member of a dance and singing duo called “Just Us” in secondary school. Whilst still a student at University of Lagos and after his partner relocated to the UK, he continued developing his art; recording songs, performing at shows until he got a big break, getting signed on to Square Records.
While he was in Just Us, he used to sing and put their songs out on the radio. Then, they were just doing it for the fun of it. Their friends would call them and tell them they heard your song on the radio and they’d be so excited.
It was fun to them because they were really young. At some point, Ope left to London to further his education and he went to Unilag where I he some guys who noticed him and offered to help his career. The studio was somewhere around the campus. He was there for about two years just making songs but they never put it out. One day he left those guys and started doing his own thing; putting his songs on CD, sharing it to people and that was how he met Alaye when he performed at the “2Face and Friends Tour with MTN” in Unilag.
CAREER AND LIFE
It was gathered that May D was signed to Square Records in the year 2011/2012 and has released few hit tracks under the label including ‘Ile Ijo’, ‘Soundtrack’ that went viral, and the remix he did with Akon and P-Square 'Chop My Money'.
