Mikel

MIKEL (born Michael Eguahon) is a Nigerian artiste and songwriter from Edo State, now making waves in the global afrobeats scene. A Linguistics graduate from the University of Benin, he began as a busker in Lagos, performing in clubs and on the streets of Victoria Island, before leading live bands at major events across Nigeria. His songwriting credits include collaborations with heavyweights like Spellz, Mr Eazi, Ceeza Milli, and Starboy Terri. In 2019, his debut single “Peku”—backed by Mr Eazi’s emPawa100 initiative—earned him a Billboard mention. Since then, MIKEL has surpassed 300,000 streams across platforms and continues to deliver fresh afrobeats sounds to the world.
