From an early age Shank knew that music was his calling and was influenced by the legendary Fela Kuti who spotted his innate talent early and took him under his wings. Shank also drew a lot of his music inspiration and talent from his father who was a musician and part of Fela’s band. Shank studied Creative Arts at the university of Lagos further refining his artistic talent and travelled regularly between London and the states, developing the beginning of what is now a large Nigerian and International fan base.
