Episode 45: Lekan-Singer|Songwriter | Child of God

Lekan, a first-generation Nigerian-American R&B singer/songwriter/musician from Columbus, Ohio, brings something new. While his towering presence dominates the stage, his silken baritone sings a message—one full of feeling and love. His soothing, inviting music is rooted in Classic R&B, while also dipping into other eras and genres—weaving soul, pop, and trap together to create his unique, timeless sound. Lekan, who names Frank Ocean, D’Angelo, and Brandy as influences, takes listeners on an exploration of love, infatuation, sex, heartache, and inspiration that is inherently healing in its vulnerability. His raw, infectious lyrics are designed to invoke a range of emotions—utterly relatable in feeling but refreshingly original in delivery.
