This prompted interest and a signing to EMI Records.
Influences: My love for music envelopes all music genres, from my first love "Lovers Rock" with people like Jean Adebambao, Samantha Rose, Paul Dawkins & Tradition, to the JA's Ruddy Thomas, Delroy Wilson, Pat Kelly to name but a few. Then my RnB classics, from Anita Baker, Angela Winbush and Arethra Franklyn to the Jazz icons, Billy Holiday, and exceptional Cleo Lain. Let me not forget my African Roots, King Sunny Ade, Mariam MaKeba, Hugh Masakele, Ladysmith Black Mambazo (my favourites). Then the abstract sounds of voice "Bobby McFerron". All these people and more have played a significant part in the molding of Toyin Adekale. Thank God for the gift of music.
