Biography

Ayoola Ayolola is a Nigerian singer‑turned‑actor who first rose to fame after winning the 5th season of Project Fame West Africa in 2012. Born in Kano and the oldest of five siblings, he studied biochemistry at Covenant University before pursuing entertainment. After his win, he released music but pivoted to acting in 2015. He became well known for his role as Mide in the web series Skinny Girl in Transit and has since appeared in a variety of films and shows including Isoken, The Bling Lagosians, The Men’s Club, and the 2025 series The Party. Ayoola has spoken openly about challenging times — including depression and a near suicide attempt — during a difficult period when he learned he was becoming a father unexpectedly. That experience, he said, changed his outlook on life and fatherhood profoundly.
