Biography

Osunlade was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri.[1] He composed music for Sesame Street during the late 1980s and early 1990s.[2] Afterward, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he worked with artists such as Patti LaBelle and Freddie Jackson. After a stint there, he moved to New York, where he founded Yoruba Records because of "the continued need to create the music I wanted".[3] To date, he has worked with such artists as Roy Ayers, Nkemdi, Salif Keita, Poranguí, and Cesária Évora. In 2006, he released the album Aquarian Moon; in 2007, he released the album Elements Beyond on the revived Strictly Rhythm label, and in 2009, he released the album Passage. He is a priest of the Yoruba religion of Ifá.[4]

Controversy

His performance at Irish festival All Together Now was cancelled in 2023, following complaints about public social media posts[5] he made which were negative about transgender health care.[6] Osunlade was dismissive of the cancellation, noting he would be paid regardless.[7]
