Early Life and Background
Waliyu Ademola Yekeen was born on June 6, 2004, in Ede, a historic town in Osun State, Nigeria. He is of Yoruba origin, a heritage that has played a foundational role in shaping his cultural awareness and artistic identity. Raised initially in Osun State, Prince Muller spent his formative years immersed in a community where tradition, resilience, and storytelling were deeply rooted in everyday life.
During his childhood, he was exposed to a wide range of musical influences. Traditional African sounds, local street music, and contemporary Nigerian pop formed part of his environment, while international hip-hop and rap reached him through media, peer culture, and the growing accessibility of global music. This blend of influences would later become a defining feature of his sound.
As he grew older, Prince Muller relocated to Ogun State, Nigeria, where he experienced a broader cultural landscape and increased exposure to urban youth culture. This transition further influenced his worldview, sharpening his awareness of social realities, ambition, struggle, and self-determination. These experiences would later serve as recurring themes in his music.
From an early age, he displayed a strong interest in creative expression. Writing, listening to music, and observing life around him became outlets through which he processed personal experiences and social observations. Though his early life was marked by challenges common to many Nigerian youths, these realities became sources of motivation rather than limitation, reinforcing his desire to use music as a means of storytelling and self-empowerment.
Musical Beginnings and Artistic Development
Prince Muller’s journey into music was shaped by passion rather than instant recognition. Long before pursuing music professionally, he spent time developing his lyrical ability, studying song structures, and experimenting with different sounds. Influenced by both African and international artists, he began crafting a personal style rooted in realism, emotional depth, and motivational messaging.
His exposure to hip-hop culture introduced him to the power of narrative rap—music that speaks directly to lived experiences, survival, ambition, and personal growth. At the same time, Afro-fusion elements allowed him to maintain a strong connection to his African roots, blending rhythmic melodies with rap-oriented delivery.
By the early 2020s, Prince Muller had developed a clear artistic vision: to create music that inspires, reflects real struggles, and encourages perseverance. This vision would eventually guide his professional entry into the music industry.
