The prolific musician was born and brought up in Mushin, Lagos, where he attended Muslim Mission Primary School from 1973 to 1979 after which he moved to Nigerian Model High School for his secondary education.
Popularly called Oganla(Big Boss), the indigene of Kwara State started showing signs of taking up a musical career while in secondary school and was said to have adopted the name Pasuma Wonder after the CEO of Heavy Sounds, Adeola Omotayo, likened his energy on stage to energy derived from an enhancement drug called Pasuma Strong.
