Born and raised in Ogun State, Nigeria, Mayor Wete - real name Shobowale Mayowa Ayomide - is a fast-rising Aboriginal Yoruba crooner and burgeoning fashion designer who first burst onto the scene in 2009 with his debut single “Wete”. Before his debut single, Mayor Wete started out as a Fuji artist in the streets of his hometown as far back as 1998 and has now evolved into an all-round exceptional singer and songwriter while still holding on to his originality and recording and performing in his native vernacular of Yoruba language.
Drawing his inspirations from God almighty as well as the likes of 9ice, Lagbaja and the late great Da Grin to mention a few - two pioneers of modern indigenous music, Mayor Wete is driven by his passion for music, for his environment and for his people as he aims to promote his own indigenous turf, culture and music to the International music landscape. “Mawomi” to be released via Dozage Records as he gears up for his long awaited debut album due to be released in 2013.
