Yemi is currently studying economics & finance at university, but has still found time to establish himself as an artist. He has been considered a unique artist by fans, most of who say he does not sound like any artist out there which he believes is a good thing as he can be spotted whenever his song is being played. Yemi claims R Kelly, Akon & Taio Cruz are his biggest inspirations and hopes to be a young better version of them.
Yemi Pade made his first mix-tape in 2009 and since then he has done a lot of collaborations with some UK underground artists such as Creepa, Silvaa King, Marvylous, Teysean, and many others. One of the most popular collaborations was with Bilal with a track titled “You Belong to Me” which got Yemi his first radio and TV play. Since then, Yemi began working on his EP titled ‘Victim of Love’ which is to be released for download in June 2011. Yemi Pade believes it is a big step forward compared to his first mix-tape as some of the songs on the EP have already gained TV and radio plays which led to Yemi being introduced on 1xtra as an upcoming artist to watch out for. The EP contains 9 tracks and so far 2 videos have been shot with the first being ‘I Wanna be your Man’ and the other which should be out in due time called ‘Come Over’ featuring Creepa.
