Sound Sultan (born Olanrewaju Fasasi on November 27, 1976 is a Nigerianrapper, singer-songwriter, actor, comedian and recording artist. He is regarded as one of the pacesetters of modern hip hop music in Nigeria.
Sound Sultan’s career started professionally in the 90s. He started hosting shows in order to raise money for studio sessions.
By 1999 he had won numerous local talent hunt shows, then he released his first single "Jagbajantis" in 2000, which went on to be an instant hit and a classic song in Nigeria. After independently releasing other singles and featuring in hit songs of other artists, he was signed by Kennis Music.
Under Kennis Music, he released four albums. By 2007, his contract with the label expired and he teamed up with his brother Baba Dee to start Naija Ninjas which is a franchise that parents a record label, production outfit and clothing line. He is reputed for having several styles and genres of music. After starting off as a rapper, he has switched from R&B, Afrobeat, Soul and Fuji. He believes that genre isn’t a criterion for judging an artist, rather the form of message that is conveyed in the music is what matters.
Under Naija Ninjas, he released Back From The Future (2010) and signed a couple of artists such as Karma Da Rapper, Young GreyC, Shawn and Blacka.
Sound Sultan has built a strong relationship with renowned international artist Wyclef Jean. Their working relationship started when he was featured alongside 2face Idibia and Faze on a song from Wyclef's Welcome to Haiti: Creole 101 album titled "Proud to be African". They have both gone ahead to collaborate on two other projects: "King of My Country" (2009) and "People Bad" (2012)
