Born Opeyemi Kayode Jnr on August 08 ,
1990.Stylezz is the 3rd of 4 children to the Kayodes. Ope; which
Stylezz is called by family and closed friends, was born in Lagos the
former capital of Nigeria. Lagos was home to Stylezz until the age of
5. At the age of 5, Ope and the Kayodes relocated to New York City, And
it became home to Stylezz ever since.
By
the time he was 11, Stylezz began his destined Journey into the art of
creating music. Like many great artists, He started in the church,
singing and learning how to play various instruments, but he quickly
gravitated towards the drums. Over the years he developed his skills and
grew as a musician.
During
his teen years he continued playing drums with different bands, doing
shows at churches, weddings, birthday parties and more. In 2011, Stylezz
and two of his friends created the group: Fully Loaded Music Group
(FLMG). It was during this period that Ope coined the moniker Stylezz
(with a ZZ). In a short period of time the group FLMG received modest
success from their songs, and their energy filled performances, which
included opening for Nigeria's finest artists and performing at the
world famous SOBs in New York City.
About
a year later, the group FLMG decided to split, with all the members
keeping their relationship with each other as not only artist, but also
as friends intact. Stylezz saw this as an opportunity to pursue a solo
career and quickly released his single "Change Your Currency", where he
remixed the beat form Sauce kid's hit: "Carolina". “Change your
currency” was a smash hit in the Nigerian club scene in New York City.
Although his sound is distinctively R&B/ Hip-hop influenced, he
manages to infuse a lot of African tunes into his work giving it an
Afrobeat feel.
