Olayinka Joel Ayefele MON is a Nigerian music producer, gospel vocalist, radio host, and the founder of Fresh and Blast FM, a network of radio stations across southwestern Nigeria.

Early Life
Ayefele was born in Ipoti-Ekiti, a town located in Ekiti State, southwestern Nigeria.

Education
He attended Our Saviour's Anglican Primary School in Ipoti-Ekiti for his elementary and secondary education before moving on to Ondo State College of Arts and Science in Ikare Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria.

Career
Ayefele briefly worked as a journalist and broadcaster at the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Ibadan, where he also created jingles and musical content for radio. He began his music journey in 1997 after being involved in a car accident that injured his spinal cord and made him dependent on a wheelchair. While recovering in the hospital for approximately 9 months, his friend, Kola Olootu, visited him and encouraged him to compile some songs. This advice led to the release of his first album, Bitter Experience, in 1998, which brought him into the spotlight. The release of Bitter Experience was followed by Sweet Experience. Other albums released by the gospel singer include Something Else, Divine Intervention, and Life After Death, which was dedicated to Gbenga Adeboye, a Nigerian radio host, musician, and comedian. The album Bitter Experience reflected his struggles, while Sweet Experience symbolized the sweetness after a "Bitter Experience." Ayefele's music has been published by various companies, including API Music (Alloy Production International) from 1998 to 2009, Galaxy Music from 2008 to 2018, and Role Model Entertainment from 2019 to the present.
