My First Lady @bia for Essence Festival of Culture presented by Coca Cola. We had to come through with the sexy couture coke bottle vibes! Keeping this super fun for her performance. Doesn’t she look refreshing 😂❤️
Cover Story - PAUSE Meets: @asakemusic
When it comes to music, the quality of authenticity often carries more emotional resonance above all else. For Asake, this is instinctual.
Having been exposed to a rich tapestry of sounds and genres growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, the hot-shot maestro has synthesized the many elements of his upbringing and culture into his own unique approach.
In the short time Asake has reached such heights, it is not only his music that reflects this philosophy but also the passion and integrity embodied in his beliefs that transcend everything he does.
“I say this all the time... [but] God loves me so much”
In PAUSE’s exclusive feature, we delve into the rise of Asake - exploring his journey in the music industry and the wider influences that have shaped his artistry. Music is more than a source of solace or inspiration; it reminds us that our shared humanity is also our greatest strength.

@asakemusic THANK YOU!
Since our paths have crossed it has been nothing but the most fulfilling and enriching journey myself and the team have been on. You are one in a million. A deep and wise soul filled with radiance and love everywhere you go.
When I was approached to work with you as a client, I was unaware that I would be gifted with a friend for life. You are respectful, you are patient, you are caring and you are beyond understanding. A true gentleman and one of the greatest performers of our generation. God has touched you so you can touch millions around the world with your gift.
Thank you for allowing me to showcase my art through yours, highlighting our powerful roots and rich history.
You push me to be a better artist and a better person everyday. Thank you for the light you bring into our lives and all that you do for the love of art. With you, there are NO LIMITS. God is the GREATEST! 🖤✨
