Beautiful and talented are two words that describe Akerele Oluwatoyosi. The soulful singer who is a graduate of Archaeology and Anthropology from the University of Ibadan is gradually making waves with her highlife song titled Bukata. The song was born out of the thought that the mind has to be taken off life’s activities and every once in a while one should have fun.

According to her:” I didn’t plan to write Bukata. It wasn’t the song I wanted to record initially. The producer played the instrumentation of the song and I just decided to flow with it. It had to be written right there. It took me an hour to write it. I chose to call the song Bukata because it’s something people can relate to, especially Yoruba people”
