Why Fuji Music Is Not Recognized – Award Winning Fuji Artist
Award winning fuji singer, songwriter and dancer Adewale Ayuba began his music career as a child but his father, who values education, made him focus on it during the week and music only on Saturdays.

Speaking with Encomium, the fuji artist said, despite winning several awards, fuji music is not doing well because artists are not tracking their songs which makes it difficult for them to be rated.

He said: “I got the African Grammys which is Kora Awards, The album I submitted with which I won the award was recorded in Germany, and it was a digital fuji album. If I had not done that, I shouldn’t be expecting the award. Fuji music is not digitized enough, we do long versions of up to about 50 minutes, whereas everything should be in tracks. If you don’t track your songs, it would be difficult to rate you. That’s why fuji artistes are not usually part of awards.”
Ayuba said he is working on digitizing fuji music in order for it to become acceptable to the younger generation.

He said: “I’m still working on digitizing Fuji music; in about two or three months, the album should be out. I want people to be playing Fuji music at night clubs because that’s what was done to reggae music. They brought Bob Marley to America and digitized-reggae, now reggae is played all over the world and to make it more acceptable to the younger ones.”
Ayuba recently dumped his childhood and family religion, Islam, for Christianity.
