Olaolu Ajibade

My name is Olaolu Ajibade, and also known as “Papylulu”. I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and I began playing the drums at the age of 7. Drumming is a means of expressing myself, it has always been a way of spreading love and positive vibes, and well as being very therapeutic for me and hopefully for my listeners. I moved to America in order to further my career, recording on over 2000 tracks on various projects. I have played on reality television shows, as well as with great artists ranging from Dbanj, Don Jazzy, Davido, Olamide, Reminisce, X Projects, Adebantu, Biodun and Batik Jazz Band, Steve Rhodes Orchestra, Sunny Okosun, Tunde and Wunmi Obe, Lagbaja, Dave Kline band in Virginia, Garrett Gleason and Radii in Maryland, STFU, and the great Louie Cruz Beltran of California. I also produce and play drums on studio projects such as Anu Music, El’ Grace, Minister Tutu, and Garrett Gleason. I have performed live at venues including Union Stage, Pearl St. Warehouse, Gypsysally’s, the Kennedy Center, Strathmore and Strathmore Mansion, Blues Alley, and the 9:30 Club. Performed live also at the BET’s one music fest with David and at the Hennessy’s artistry concert At Kingston oval Barbados. My Single “Business into Pleasure” and ‘Tales of Papylulu is available on all digital stores
