Akande Opeyemi Riliwan, known professionally as Wan Coded, has started making waves with his debut release.
The recording artist, songwriter, and performer whose blend of Afrobeat and Afropop is drawing attention as one of the more compelling new acts to step onto the scene in recent memory.
Born on June 12, 2000, in Ode-Irele, Irele Local to Government Area, the 25-year-old artist credits his Yoruba heritage as a driving force behind his sound and creative identity.
His music, shaped by years of self-taught freestyle composition and songwriting, reflects the lived experiences of a generation navigating ambition, resilience, and self-belief.
Wan Coded made his formal entry into the music industry in 2025, converting years of behind-the-scenes preparation into a focused professional pursuit.
His debut notable release, Zero My Mind (ZMM), served as an early statement of intent, showcasing versatility and earning him a growing base of listeners both locally and beyond Nigeria’s borders.
“His capacity to balance commercial viability with authentic narrative, without compromising his roots,” according to those close to his camp, is what sets him apart in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Thematically, his catalogue touches on the tensions and triumphs familiar to young Africans striving to surpass their circumstances, a message that has resonated across a diverse audience.
As Nigeria’s music industry continues to command global attention, observers are watching artists like Wan Coded closely.
His trajectory, from a small town in Ondo State to the professional stage, is being described by supporters as a testament to discipline and purposeful artistry.
