Inspired by artistes such as Fela Kuti, 2face, Michael
Jackson and R. Kelly whose songs are based on their experiences, he penned
lyrics that focused on the socio-cultural and love issues he had absorbed and
began performing them at open-mic events, which to his astonishment were well
received. Renowned as a versatile artiste whose music is a fusion of influences
ranging from r'n'b to reggae to dance; Jaxman's vocal abilities which include
falsettos stunned his audiences, peers and family, who encouraged him to follow
his dreams. He copped the name Jaxman and finally surrendered to his gift.
Jaxman debuted as a professional artiste in 2007 with a song
titled 'feeling for you', produced by artiste and producer Nues. He has since
released further hit singles including titled 'wale ft Ayo Rawlings'dance to my
tune. He is known to perform with artistes such as 2face Idibia, Wande Coal,
Biggiano and Shank, to name a few.
Jaxman run a music
label and considers it a duty to pass on his skills and experiences to the next
generation and for many years has taken an interest in studying emerging trends
in popular culture. Young aspirants have kept him on his toes and reinforced
his potent belief that African music has the ability go beyond its current
borders and reach a broader audience.
Jaxman believes in exploring modern musical forms, but his
philosophy is that his nationalism must be reflected in his music through
retaining his Nigerian accent, dances and visual imagery. This can be heard in
his new works, particularly his fusion of technobeat and electronic dance he
coined 'wale' music.
