Known to fans as 7Figures SMG, Aduragbemi Adekunle is fast gaining popularity for his music.
The up-and-coming singer, who has released some songs done wholly in Yoruba language, insisted that his only mission was to be a voice to the voiceless in society.
Speaking on what inspires his music, the graduate of Economics from the Lecitoyen University, Cotonou, Republic of Benin, said, “My songs serve as a source of hope for people during tough times. The average Nigerian is buffeted by several ills including insecurity, instability, inflation and job loss. I don’t only sing about the socio-economic aspect of society. I also touch on the politics and bad governance that leaves the youths in the ghettos locked in a system of oppression.”
