Hadeking, whose real name is Adewale Oluwaseun Awotunde, is a Nigerian musician known for his unique ability to perform different styles of music. From Afro-Juju and Fuji to Afrobeats, R&B, and more, Hadeking has built a strong presence in the music industry through hard work, passion, and consistency. He comes from Edun Abon, a town in Ife North Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. Over the years, he has grown to become not just a singer but a brand leader and band founder.
Hadeking is the lead act of the registered music group Hadeking and Favour Band, a band that is fondly called Gbogbo Elere, meaning “all kinds of music.” This name reflects their ability to perform any genre and entertain people from all walks of life. Whether it’s a wedding, housewarming, burial anniversary, birthday, picnic, jazz night, or club performance, Hadeking and his band deliver with excellence and energy.
From the very beginning, Hadeking had a strong interest in music. Growing up in Osun State, he was exposed to many traditional Yoruba music styles, especially Fuji and Juju. He listened to local musicians, attended live band performances, and slowly began to learn how music could bring people together. At the helm of these pursuits is his encounter with the famous Akin Ajayi popularly known as Akin Lagbaja for 14 years. Music began for him at 7. These early experiences shaped his musical taste and helped him develop a clear direction for his future in music.
As he got older, he began performing at small gatherings and local events. He continued to grow his skills and form connections in the music world. Eventually, he formed his own band, Hadeking and Favour Band, to take his talent to the next level. The band, whose slogan is “Fortress of Good Vibes,” is now a well-known name among event organisers and music lovers. They are known for creating positive energy at every performance, and this reputation has helped them grow both in Nigeria and outside the country.
Hadeking’s ability to mix different genres into one performance is one of the things that make him special. He can move from an Afrobeat song to a Juju rhythm and then to a smooth R&B sound without losing the audience. His wide range of music keeps people engaged and entertained throughout his shows. Clients often call on him and his band for special occasions because they know they will get quality entertainment that suits different age groups and cultural backgrounds.
Another thing that sets Hadeking apart is the professional way his band operates. The group is registered and works with proper structure and planning. This has given them an edge in an industry where many performers lack formal organisation. It also gives event planners and clients peace of mind, knowing that they are working with a reliable team. Because of this, Hadeking and Favour Band are often invited to perform at high-level events where discipline and delivery matter a lot.
Beyond performance, Hadeking has a strong belief in the power of music to bring joy and healing. This belief guides how he relates with his audience. His shows are not just about sound; they are about experience. Whether he is playing at a calm jazz night or a lively birthday celebration, he focuses on the emotional impact of his music. His fans often talk about how relaxed and happy they feel after his performances. This emotional connection has helped him build a loyal fan base that keeps growing with every event.
Hadeking’s talent is not only recognised in Nigeria. Over time, he has taken his music outside the country, performing at international shows and events. His ability to cross cultural lines with his music has won him fans abroad, especially in places where there is a strong Nigerian community. His performances are usually full of life, colour, and good vibes – true to the slogan of his band. These international performances have also helped him learn more about global music styles, which he sometimes adds to his own music, making it richer and more appealing to different kinds of people.
In addition to singing, Hadeking is deeply involved in the day-to-day management of his band. He takes part in organising rehearsals, planning logistics, and preparing for events. This level of involvement shows how committed he is to the success of his craft. While many artists leave these responsibilities to others, Hadeking stays hands-on. This has helped him maintain quality and consistency across all his performances. His band members often speak about his discipline, his kindness, and his drive to keep improving.
One of the reasons Hadeking and Favour Band are in high demand is because of their flexibility. They do not offer “one-size-fits-all” performances. Instead, they listen to clients, understand the kind of event being planned, and tailor their music to suit the mood and purpose of that particular occasion. Whether it’s a formal event or a casual gathering, the band knows how to adjust their performance style and song selection accordingly. This attention to detail is one of the reasons clients keep calling them back and recommending them to others.
Despite his success so far, Hadeking remains humble. He sees every performance as a chance to learn something new and get better. He also supports young talents and encourages upcoming musicians to believe in themselves and remain focused. For him, music is not just a business; it is a passion and a calling. He believes that when music is done with heart and commitment, it will always find its way into the lives of people who need it.
Over the years, Hadeking has built a strong brand identity. His name, the band’s slogan, their reputation for quality delivery, and their growing list of satisfied clients all show that he is in music for the long haul. He continues to rehearse, create, perform, and inspire, building a legacy that younger artists can look up to.
As Hadeking and Favour Band continue to grow, many fans and industry watchers believe that even greater things lie ahead for the group. Plans for more tours, collaborations, and possibly recorded albums or EPs are expected. But whether on a big stage or in a private gathering, one thing remains the same: Hadeking’s commitment to spreading good vibes through music.
His journey shows that with talent, discipline, and vision, a musician can go beyond just being a performer and become a trusted brand. As one of the voices keeping live performance culture alive in Nigeria, Hadeking is not just doing music—he is building a name that stands for reliability, creativity, and entertainment.
