Ayox, whose real name is Ayomide Bakare Yanuoluwa, is a rising Nigerian singer and songwriter born on January 4, 2003. Originally from Akure, Ondo State, he faced a significant turning point in 2016 when he lost his father. In pursuit of his musical aspirations, Ayox relocated to Lagos. His musical journey began early, recording his first song at the age of 12.
Specializing in Afro Soul within the broader Afrobeat genre, Ayox's unique style is deeply influenced by the musical preferences of his late father. Growing up, he immersed himself in the sounds of legendary musicians such as Beautiful Nubia, Orlando Owoh, Wale Glorious, and Olamide Baddo.
