@SOMECALLMEWALE

Raised in a Nigerian household where music was ever-present, Somecallmewale’s earliest influences were shaped by soul, gospel, and the quiet rituals of family life. His father played Luther Vandross and Lionel Richie, while his mother gravitated toward Whitney Houston and Celine Dion - sounds that became the backdrop to his upbringing. His career began at 15 after producing a breakout remix gaining over 400,000 listens, but over time Wale has shifted to crafting his own music that reflects his own journey and experiences. His songwriting explores themes of emotional distance, self-doubt, and the spaces in between connection - always rooted in honesty.
