Lekan

In a time when music feels lacking in substance and passion, Lekan, a first generation Nigerian-American R&B singer/songwriter/musician from Columbus, Ohio, brings something new. While his towering presences dominates the stage, his silken baritone sings a message—one full of feeling and love. His soothing, inviting music is rooted in Classic R&B, while also dipping into other eras and genres—weaving soul, pop, and trap together to create his unique, timeless sound. Lekan, who names Marvin Gaye, D’Angelo, and The Weeknd as influences, takes listeners on an exploration of love, infatuation, sex, heartache, and inspiration that is inherently healing in its vulnerability. His raw, infectious lyrics are designed to invoke a range of emotion—utterly relatable in feeling but refreshingly original in delivery.
