Timeline

1966

Adewale Ayuba (born 6 May 1966, commonly known as Mr. Johnson), is a Nigerian singer known for singing Fuji music.

Adewale Ayuba, popularly known as Ayuba, Mr. Johnson, and the Bonsue-fuji maestro, was born on 6 May 1966 in Ikenne Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria.

He grew up as a child singer, and by the age of eight he had started singing at local musical competitions and fiestas in Ikenne.

This led to him pursuing music as a career after his secondary school education at Remo Secondary School, Sagamu, Ogun State.

Although he had gained admission to study Architecture at the Ogun State Polytechnic in Abeokuta, his music career took center stage.

Ayuba released his first album Ibere (Beginning) at the age of 17 and as a result he rose rapidly in the Fuji music scene.

1990

In early 1990, Ayuba signed with Sony Music (Nigerian) to record an album, Bubble, which was released in 1991 and brought Ayuba into international prominence.

Bubble marked the first time in history that a Fuji Music album gained widespread recognition, topping music charts for six consecutive months and winning multiple awards at the Nigerian Music Awards (NMA).

It also won Ayuba the coveted Artist of the Year Awards, including the Album of the Year Award, Song of the Year Award, and Best Fuji Album of the Year Award—four in all.

With the success of Bubble, Ayuba hit the pinnacle of his career in Nigeria.

Ayuba's high-tech instrumentation and distinct voice changed the face of Fuji Music.

For the first time in History, the Nigerian Elite, who until then had ignored Fuji Music, embraced it.

His Los Angeles debut was also a success, and C.C. Smith of Los Angeles Weekly Magazine wrote that "Ayuba bases his Fuji on two elemental forces—rhythm, and the human voice—to create compelling, enchanting and powerful sound. Expect frenzied dancing style and colorful costumes, exultant fans and enough talking drums and percussion to remedy even a terminal case of sensory deprivation."

It gained even more recognition than Bubble and won multiple awards at the Fame Music Awards, topping the music chart for several months.
