[1] Falola, whose parents died when he was young, was raised in Nigeria, where he displayed an early talent for music,[1] and studied at the University of Ife.
Encouraged by singer Ebenezer Obey who himself had rediscovered Christianity, Falola turned down a recording contract with EMI to relocate to the United Kingdom and concentrate on gospel music.
[1] His first Christian recording was in 1994; since then he has toured with ministries through Europe and America[2] where his albums My Joy, Power in the Blood, The Healing Songs, I'm Blessed, and Marvellous have sold alongside Canada, Sweden, and numerous African counties.
[1][2] In 2001, after many years abroad, he paid a short visit to his homeland, and in 2002 performed at the official African launch of the Dizzy K Gospel Music Ministries and the Centre of my Joy album.
[2] Now married with four children, Falola continues to reside in London, and runs a studio that publicises youth problems.
