TOLA OLUBUNMI

In a small town in the crevices of St. Louis Missouri was born a small child. A child who never knew the meaning of “figgy pudding”, (actually I still don’t know what that is). A child who would be beaten up by his three sisters whenever he asked for more ice cream after supper. A child who would come to learn that throwing rocks at stray dogs is not always a “fun” thing to do (I’ve got the scars to prove it); a child destined to kick butt in a major and extremely drastic way. This child’s name is (drum roll)…(dramatic pause)…(high hat crash)…Oluwatola Ajibola Oluwabunmi but you can just call me Tola. Hey,everything I said up there was pretty much true, except for the getting beat up for ice-cream part…well I hope not anyway. But I was born in St.louis and, No, I don’t know Nelly or the St.Lunatics and, Yes, I’ve
been up in the Ark and all that good stuff. But enough of that, let me stick with the reason for all the typing and that’s (yep you guessed it) me.

I started playing guitar a little later in life and have been singing alot longer. I've lived in alot of places but the place that sticks out most in my mind is Nigeria, West Africa. That's where I got saved and really learned the meaning of living life with a purpose. When you have basically nothing you learn to live for everything and everyone. The band ABLLE has that very same mentality, to live for everyone everyday that we are on this earth. God has given me a talent, a talent and a gift. A gift that I will use to the best of my ability.
