When the history of Fuji Music will be written in Nigeria his name must hold prominence. Ayuba is not the run of the mill kind of Fuji musician you see everyday rather his rarity makes him special.
Scandal Free, Urbane , Polished, Intelligent and Good business acumen are words that best qualifies this Fuji Artiste.
Ayuba has been singing since childhood. He released the song Bubble and Mr Johnson in 1991 and 1992 under Sony music and the songs became instant hits.
Ayuba termed his kind of Fuji music BONSUE . While reminiscing on how the word Bonsue was created he said it is a name his mother use in making jest of him every time she sends him on an errand and he forgets what he ought to buy or do. She will say Bo, Bo, Bo, Bonsue. Just to keep the memory of that Yabbis Ayuba decided then to brand his Fuji BONSUE.
Because Ayuba has been on active music stage since over 40 years a lot of people think he is well over 60 . Little did they know that his consistency has kept him on till date.
While the Fuji music brand keep growing in leaps and bounds thanks to icons like Kwam 1, Sefiu Alao, Kollington Ayinla, Obesere, Pasuma, etc Ayuba and some of his other contemporaries have also been trying collaboration with different hip hop acts. For Ayuba he sees it as a movement hence his Single Kolobakoloba which he released about a year ago was used to test the waters. According to Ayuba he said the idea is in a bid to have songs that will also play in disco hall.
Ayuba’s songs are reformatory and focuses on cultural activities in our traditional institutions ie Marriage, Naming Ceremony, Family, etc
