LEKANA

LEKANA BAND EVOLVED FROM THE FULL SPELL OF MY INITIALS, I.E. LEKAN ALONGE. THE BAND LEKANA EVOLVED 4 YEARS AGO... (2004), AFTER I FINISHED MY SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION IN THE CAUSE OF THE LONG HOLIDAY GAP IN-BETWEEN UNIVERSITY ADMISSION AND ALL THAT, I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT REALLY CAME UPON ME... (BUT I GUESS IT WAS THE ANGEL OF MY DESTINY), I PICKED A BIRO AND A BOOK A GOT FROM A SHOPPING SOTRE (DOLLAR WORLD) AND BEGAN TO WRITE A SONG, I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THE TITLE OF THE SONG WHEN I STARTED, ALL I COULD REMEMBER WAS THAT THE FIRST LINE IN THE SONG SAID: GET UP ITS A TIME FOR EVOLUTION EVOULUTION IN THE HOOD ... IT'S A TIME FOR THE U- TURN ... THEN I WAS MORE PICKING AFTER 2 PAC SHAKUR (I GUESS THAT WAS BECAUSE DURING MY DAYS IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL, SOME FOLKS NICKNAMED ME 2 PAC, THAT WAS BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY I LOOK LIKE 2 PAC FACIALY AND IN THE FREELANCE NATURE AS WELL.) BUT SINCERELY SPEAKING, I NEVER REALLY TRIED SINGING AGAIN AFTER I WROTE THAT SONG ! BUT ONE THING I NOTICED WAS THAT WHILE I SING SONGS THAT DRIVES ME TO PASSION, FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES KEEP SAYING WORDS LIKE " GO AND SING YOUR OWN SONG INSTEAD OF SINGING IN SILENCE INDOORS", "I LIKE TO HEAR YOU SING SOMEDAY" "YOU HAVE A NICE VOICE" 2 YEARS LATER THE ANGEL OF MY DESTINY VISITED AGAIN AND PUSHED ME ALL AROUND INTO WRITING THIS SONG I CALLED "FIRST LOVE", AND AFTER THAT, I WROTE "EVERYONE NEEDS SOME LOVE" AND SO ON. I'M STILL YOUNG IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC BUT I'M AWARE OF THE FACT THAT I'M GROWING, AND ONE THING THAT I BELIEVE KEEPS ME AT BETTER EDGE IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC IS MY UNIQUE SINGING VOICE !... (NOT BRAGGING AT ALL) MY ASPIRATIONS ARE TO "SING SONGS THAT WOULD MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD SING, MAKE IMPACT INTO LIVE VIA MY MUSIC, AND BE ONE OF THE BEST IN MY GENERATION AND MEET MY MUSIC ICONS (SIMON WEBBE, R.KELLY, 2 FACE, LIGHT HOUSE FAMILY) AND ALSO MEET YOU TOO !" NEVER STOP DREAMING, BECAUSE DREAMS COME THROUGH AND YOU CAN BE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANNA BE IN LIFE... THE WORLD STANDS ASIDE FOR HE WHO KNOWS WHERE HE IS GOING TO. WATCH ME GROW!!! LEKANA 25/08/2008
