By 'Gbenga Bankole


Multi-talented instrumentalist and CEO of Sax Records, Adeyemi Adeosun, popularly known as Yemi Sax has disclosed that his father was a former Choir Master at Christ Apostolic Church, Yaba.



Yemi Sax revealed this in an interview with The Nation Newspaper.




He explained that;"I am from a music family. My late father was a banker. He worked with Bank of America for a couple of years and also worked with Savannah Bank. On the other side, he was a gospel musician. He was a choir master in Christ Apostolic Church at Yaba, Lagos."




"It’s a priority for every family member to know how to play at least one musical instrument. Even if you want to play any instrument you must first know how to play the piano. So, every one of us learned to play the piano. The music started from home for me. Even my mum who is a proprietress of a school is an excellent soprano singer as choir member. She is over 60 now and has been singing for decades. Music is in the blood."
