Prominent Mavin singer and entertainer, Reekado Banks is currently one of the most promising artistes in the Nigerian music sector.



Reekado has worked with industry giants such as Don Jazzy, Illbliss, Tiwa Savage, Olamide, Korede Bello, Di’Ja and Wale.

He explains however that his story to the top was not as smooth as some other people in the industry.
Reekado was born Solomon Ayoleyi Hanniel and hails from Ondo State.


He explains that he had to hawk blenders in traffic and work as a manual labourer at a construction site in a bid to earn some money to use for his record after he told his parents about his intention to pursue a career in music.

He said that during his university days, a lecturer had told him he would never achieve his dreams after preventing him from retaking a test he missed.

His breakthrough came during a Mavin Records audition where he was chosen out of over 5,000 hopefuls. The dreadlocked act, now popular for his ballad “Katapot”, credited this triumph to God.
In his words, “There is no amount of sacrifice that was enough to get me something this big.”

Reekado was known as spicy before signing with Mavin records.
