His breakout single “No Wahala” captures the universal stresses of work, money, and daily responsibilities, while offering an uplifting escape through infectious rhythms and melodies.

After more than three decades of creating music privately, Ase is now fully embracing his artistry, declaring: “It’s time for me to live my life.”Ase’s work speaks to the global African diaspora, celebrating shared roots and cultural pride. His second release, “Mama Mama,” is a heartfelt tribute to mothers everywhere, delivered in a smooth R&B-reggae fusion. With an upcoming album and multiple singles set for release, Ase is expanding his sound across genres, from love ballads to hip-hop and beyond.At the heart of his music lies a mission: to bring African culture and history to a global stage, highlight themes of spirituality and social justice, and spread a message of hope. His philosophy is simple yet powerful: “Let’s not let anything bog us down. Take one step at a time. Tomorrow will be a different day. No wahala. No trouble.”Dissolve your stress, embrace the rhythm, and experience the uplifting sound of Ase Odin. Connect with him on all platforms for music, videos, and new releases.
