The Singer Has Never Been to the University

Zinoleesky is one of the few Nigerian artists who, through their breakthroughs, continue to prove to the world that talents are not only learned in institutions of higher learning but can as well be possessed right from birth. While growing up, he attended Lively Kids nursery and primary school, Agege, Lagos.

For his secondary education, he enrolled at Boys secondary school, Agege, Lagos, where he obtained his Senior School Certificate. Zino is not a university graduate. He started pursuing a career in music quite early, and after he finished secondary school, he decided not to further his education but to go into music fully.

He Developed Passion For Music At a Tender Age

In an interview with Buzz Nigeria , the young Nigerian music talent revealed that he had a set of friends in his primary school days. They used to sing other musicians’ songs as if they were theirs and also engage in a break dancing party as they sing. This they continued to do till he completed his primary education and parted ways with those particular friends of his.

Then, he moved to Boys secondary school, where he met Ibradosky and Lil Frosh , and they subsequently became friends. The three friends would usually challenge themselves with freestyle music and post the videos on their Instagram pages, not knowing that it would one day bring them to fame. On one of the occasions, Zinoleesky posted the video on his social media page, and it caught the attention of Kizz Daniel; he liked it and immediately followed Zinoleesky on Instagram. This singular act was what Zino said motivated him and his friends Ibradosky and Lil Frosh to put more genuine effort into music.

Zinoleesky Rejected Davido’s Offer to Join His DMW Record Label

In 2019, when the three rising stars began to gain massive attention in the music industry, famous Nigerian musician Davido offered them a deal to join his record label. Still, Zinoleesky turned down the offer while his friends Lil Frosh and Ibradosky accepted. He was criticized and attacked for being the first upcoming artist to reject the same offer from Davido.

zinoleesky-signed-up-by-naira-marley-

However, Zinoleesky disclosed his reason for rejecting the offer after signing to Naira Marley’s record label, Marlian Music, alongside three other upcoming artists, Fabian Blu, C Black, and Mohbad. He said that he felt he does not belong to the DMW but has now found where he belongs to. Though some still dragged him, many others applauded his guts and commended his firm stand of going for exactly what he wants.

Meanwhile, Zino has been close friends with his boss Naira Marley ever since he signed to his record label. Naira Marley appeared on stage with the four young artists at the 2019 Marlians Fest, held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos.

Zinoleesky Dominated the Nigerian Music Industry in 2020 with his Hit Song Ma Pariwo

Zinolessky is super talented, strong-spirited, and hardworking, which has given him a decent place in the highly competitive Nigerian music industry. After some years of struggle, Zinoleesky landed his debut in 2019 with the song Caro, and since then, he has released over 10 singles and an album titled Chrome (Eccentric) EP. He had his big break in 2019 after he dropped the single Ma Pariwo produced by Tripss.

The song released on 6th July 2020 has arguably become one of the biggest Nigerian songs of the year. Currently, it has about 15 million streams on Audiomack and over 2.7 million views on YouTube. In September 2020, popular Nigerian hip-hop artist Mayorkun did a cover of Ma Pariwo, and it has gotten 5 million streams on Audiomack.

The lyrics of the cover and additional effects brought a little different shade from the original but quite gave an interesting vibe. Though still a rising artist, Zinoleesky’s career journey has been an unhurried but consistent one. He collaborates with some well-established musicians in the industry, such as Naira Marley , Zlatan Ibile , etc., and has also been featured in many songs by other well-known artists.

In this article, we are going to discuss the biography of Zinoleesky, starting from his childhood days in Agege to when he was an Instagram sensation, and now an established artiste who has gained nationwide recognition for his numerous hit tracks. Read on. 

Zinoleesky Biography

The biography of Zinoleesky would be discussed below: 

Early Life and Education of Zinoleesky

Oniyede Azeez, professionally known as Zinoleesky, was born in the Agege local government area of Lagos, on November 21, 1999. He was born into the Muslim family of Mr. and Mrs. Azeez. He attended Lively Kiddies Nursery and Primary School for his elementary education where he obtained his First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC). For his secondary school education,  he enrolled in Boys Secondary School, a public secondary school in Agege, where he acquired his Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE). 

Zinoleesky was born on November 21, 1999, so he’ll be 24 years old by November 21, 2023. 

Musical Career of Zinoleesky

As a teenager growing up in Agege local government area of Lagos, Zinoleesky enjoyed listening to Afrobeats, Highlife, Pop, Juju, and Fuji sounds. This fostered his interest to make music, which he began with freestyling rap songs in front of his classmates as a secondary school student. He was also known to perform at several social events organized by his school, and compete in numerous talent shows in his locality and other parts of Lagos. 

Upon graduation from secondary school, he decided to focus on music squarely. So he began booking studio sessions to record songs that he had penned down at home. He was consistently visiting studios around Agege that he soon became known in the Agege music community. And with the increasing popularity in his locality, Zinoleesky was often asked to perform at events held in Agege. 

In a bid to increase his popularity outside Agege, Zinoleesky set up an Instagram account where he began posting videos of him freestyling rap songs. Most of the videos he posted on his Instagram page showed him rapping to instrumentals of popular songs or doing covers of trendy Afrobeats singles at the time. As he consistently posted videos of freestyle and covers of songs on his Instagram page so did his online audience began to grow. In 2017, his freestyle rap videos went viral and generated massive engagements which pushed him to the limelight. 

Zinoleesky and Lil Frosh, another talented Instagram sensation at the time, recorded and posted multiple videos that showed them freestyling to Afrobeats on their respective Instagram accounts. This collaboration with Lil Frosh further expanded Zinoleesky’s online fanbase. Shortly after, Zinolessky began to receive collaboration requests from other musical artistes, both established acts and upcoming musicians. 

In 2019, Davido offered Zinoleesky a record deal with Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), but at that time, Zinoleesky declined the offer, stating he preferred to remain an independent artiste. Another record label, AMW, owned by Aloma, an aide to Davido, also offered Zinoleesky a record deal but he turned down the offer. But later in 2019, after Naira Marley founded his record which he named Marlian Music, Zinoleesky and three other artistes including Fabian Blu, Mohbad, and C Blvck, were announced as new signees to the record label at the 2019 Marlian Fest. 

Since joining Marlian Music in 2019, Zinoleesky has made tremendous exploits in the Nigerian music industry. He’s collaborated with lots of artistes to release Afrobeats hits. Months after joining Marlian Music, Zinoleesky released a 6-track extended play project titled Chrome, which became a success. The songs that make up the EP include Kilofoshe, Angeli, Wo Wa Mi, Ma Pariwo, Ni Tori E, and Bullet. 

Following the success of his debut EP, Chrome, Zinoleesky released several other songs such as Gone Far and Rocking, as well as featured in several songs of established acts such as Lilkesh’s Don’t Call Me, which topped several music charts since its release. 

In the latter part of 2022, Zinoleesky released his second EP, titled Grit and Lust, a fusion of Afrobeat, Afro-pop and Amapiano. The EP contained 8 tracks with support from Omah Lay and Arya Starr. The songs that make up the Grit and Lust EP include Personal, Odinaka, Yan Yan Yan, Run it Up, Many Roads (ft. Ayra Starr), Last Time (ft. Omah Lay), Call of Duty, and Rocking.

However, he rejected the offer and chose to remain an independent artist for a while. Zinoleesky was eventually signed by Naira Marley into Marlian Music in January 2020, alongside the likes of Mohbad , Fabian and Cblack . 

To foster the growth of his career, Zinoleesky began to record and post freestyle rap videos on social media. In most cases, he would rap to the instrumentals of popular songs or do the covers of trendy singles in the country. Gradually, he was able to build an audience on social media, as many lovers of Afrobeat and Street Pop sounds appreciated his works. As the weeks advanced, Zinoleesky became a force to reckon with in the underground rap community, as most of his rap videos were going viral and generating massive engagement on the social media app – Instagram. The young Agege artiste had grown a large fanbase in a short while.

Zinoleesky, who came from a middle-class family, now resides in a posh apartment house in Lekki and owns two exotic cars.

Zinoleesky is rumoured to be in a relationship with Shubomi Fashola , Naira Marley‘s sister. The duo were seen kissing in a video that surfaced online some months back.

The singer, Zinoleesky who is known for calling himself “ Show Killer ” and “ Problem Child “, was arrested alongside Mohbad by the NDLEA for possessing illegal drug substances. The arrest was made in February 2022, and the artists were released after days in detention.

Rumours were flying all over the internet that Zinoleesky and Lil Frosh were called up for a record label deal by AMW and DMW, AMW owned by Davido’s Personal Assistant (PA), Aloma , and DMW owned by Davido himself. The two talented musical artists Lil Frosh and Zinoleesky were called up for a million naira record label deal. We gathered that Lil Frosh accepted the deal and immediately signed the papers, which was followed up with Davido and Aloma announcing him on their Instagram pages as their newly signed artist.
