50 Cheers for Live Music King, Akiin Shuga

Live music legend Akinloye Tofowomo, popularly known as Akiin Shuga, has many reasons to be grateful to God for life as he turns golden age of 50 on Monday, 6, January 2025.

The founder of premium, highly sought-after live music band Shuga Band and Managing Director of Shuga Entertainment cleverly dodged all attempts by well-wishers to throw a big ceremony to mark his big day.

However, his resolve could not stand the wishes of his wife, Maria Tofowomo and kids for a close-knit celebration in his home.

With a dint of hard work, Tofowomo rose from performing at Pintos, a celebrity hangout from the late 90s into the mid-2000s. Today, he has risen to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry as an ex-president of the Association of Live Band Music (AMBON).

With an unrivalled ability to connect with both corporate and HNI’s from diverse backgrounds, Tofowomo’s Shuga Band has performed for three Presidents of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Vice Presidents at different touchpoints, events and locations across the country.

Born into the family of the late Justice S.A. Tofowomo in Ile-Oluji, Ondo State, Tofowomo has overcome great challenges and risen above expectations.

At the age of five, he had polio, but his physical disability never hindered his determination. He defied the odds and pursued his passion for music.

He is an alumnus of the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where he further honed his musical skills.
