Kunle

Award-winning Toronto-based producer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Kunlé (Adekunle Olorundare), whose music moves between folk, soul and the deep well of West African storytelling, was born into a musical family in Nigeria and his work draws on Yoruba proverbs, acoustic traditions and the pulse of contemporary global music. He has captivated audiences for over 10 years with his debut EP and inspiring live performances, which weave rich vocals, fingerstyle guitar, talking drum, harmonica and piano into a sound he describes as “music with no boundaries.”

His highly-anticipated new album ‘Kunlé – The Journey’ is now set for a 2026 release, and the album kicks off with a double-single pre-release – Ilé L’àb?? (featuring a new video) and Cabana – on Friday, March 6, 2026 on all music streaming platforms.

The songs on ‘Kunlé – The Journey’ were recorded in Kunlé’s home studio in Toronto and at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton, ON. It was produced at Catherine North with Kunlé as co-producer and Will Crann (Blue Rodeo, Whitehorse, Feist, The Glorious Sons and more) as co-producer and recording engineer.

In recent years, Kunlé’s creative path expanded. These experiences shaped the new phase in his practice – one that blends music, memory and performance in ways that feel both intimate and cinematic, and culminates into his 2026 sophomore album release ‘Kunlé – The Journey’ (exact release date to be announced soon).
