He was born into the Muslim family of Mr. and Mrs. Azeez. He attended Lively Kiddies Nursery and Primary School for his elementary education where he obtained his First School Leaving Certificate (FSLC). For his secondary school education,\u00a0 he enrolled in Boys Secondary School, a public secondary school in Agege, where he acquired his Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Age\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zinoleesky was born on November 21, 1999, so he&#8217;ll be 24 years old by November 21, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>Musical Career of Zinoleesky<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a teenager growing up in Agege local government area of Lagos, Zinoleesky enjoyed listening to Afrobeats, Highlife, Pop, Juju, and Fuji sounds. This fostered his interest to make music, which he began with freestyling rap songs in front of his classmates as a secondary school student. He was also known to perform at several social events organized by his school, and compete in numerous talent shows in his locality and other parts of Lagos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon graduation from secondary school, he decided to focus on music squarely. So he began booking studio sessions to record songs that he had penned down at home. He was consistently visiting studios around Agege that he soon became known in the Agege music community. And with the increasing popularity in his locality, Zinoleesky was often asked to perform at events held in Agege.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a bid to increase his popularity outside Agege, Zinoleesky set up an Instagram account where he began posting videos of him freestyling rap songs. Most of the videos he posted on his Instagram page showed him rapping to instrumentals of popular songs or doing covers of trendy Afrobeats singles at the time. As he consistently posted videos of freestyle and covers of songs on his Instagram page so did his online audience began to grow. In 2017, his freestyle rap videos went viral and generated massive engagements which pushed him to the limelight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zinoleesky and Lil Frosh, another talented Instagram sensation at the time, recorded and posted multiple videos that showed them freestyling to Afrobeats on their respective Instagram accounts. This collaboration with Lil Frosh further expanded Zinoleesky&#8217;s online fanbase. Shortly after, Zinolessky began to receive collaboration requests from other musical artistes, both established acts and upcoming musicians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, Davido offered Zinoleesky a record deal with Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), but at that time, Zinoleesky declined the offer, stating he preferred to remain an independent artiste. Another record label, AMW, owned by Aloma, an aide to Davido, also offered Zinoleesky a record deal but he turned down the offer. But later in 2019, after Naira Marley founded his record which he named Marlian Music, Zinoleesky and three other artistes including Fabian Blu, Mohbad, and C Blvck, were announced as new signees to the record label at the 2019 Marlian Fest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since joining Marlian Music in 2019, Zinoleesky has made tremendous exploits in the Nigerian music industry. He&#8217;s collaborated with lots of artistes to release Afrobeats hits. Months after joining Marlian Music, Zinoleesky released a 6-track extended play project titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chrome, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which became a success.
