Yinka Ayefele is a Nigerian singer and record producer born in Ekiti state.
His life was radically altered in 1997 following a ghastly accident that shattered his spinal cord and confined him to a wheelchair.
It started like a joke, and he even thought he would be fine soon enough and able to use his legs again. But that didn’t prove correct. He remained confined to a wheelchair.
To his credit, he had the strength of spirit not to let his accident limit him. The same year he had the accident, he also began his singing career in earnest. His dedication has since paid off, as he is today one of the wealthiest musicians in Nigeria, with interest in many sectors, including real estate and media.
