music career in church and was able to organise many events while in the
university.

Popularly now known and referred to as “Buga”, he is easily recognised by his

traditional style of dressing infused with modern day styling to promote and encourage the younger generation to embrace the African dressing and fabrics. His
signature hat with long tail used by the Yoruba hunters(looks like a santa claus hat)
makes this all interesting. The hat has commonly taken up the new name “buga” 
after Jesse King Buga,

One of his popular tracks, ‘mummy Ooo” remains the preferred choice of song to
celebrate women on mothers days, birthdays and at traditional weddings of the
Yoruba speaking  tribe both home and abroad 
 
One of his signature productions amongst many is the Music, Dance and Drama
concert titled ‘Eko Benin Connexion’. Jesse King doubled as a producer and director
of this production and till date remains one of his greatest and biggest. This concert
depicts a kind of cultural rebirth using education as the tool to rekindle and unite the
cultural ties between the Benin Kingdom and the Eko (Lagos) of today. As a curator
of the idea which is borne out of the unpleasant nature of events stemming from
tribal wars and hatred, the intent behind this not-so-common type of concert is
simply to bring back the memories of where humans evolved from so that we don’t
miss the big picture of our being connected and having the same source. It is simply
a wake-up call for people to reconnect with their roots and stay in peaceful co-
existence
Jesse is a certified music producer/director, member of COSON Nigeria and uses
music to promote his undying passion for the African Culture and Tourism.
