[4] Seyi was born on Lagos Island on June 30 to a large family from Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He attended Prince George's Community College in Maryland where he graduated with an associate degree in Computer Information Systems.
While in college Seyi started writing poems and stories for the school magazine, and was commended by his professors and peers.
After saving up enough money, Carl's American musical background and Seyi's African musical influence resulted in the release of Seyi's first album entitled Born in Afrika in 1998, which contained the hit song "Love me jeje, love me tender".
This album topped the charts in Nigeria on Ray Power 100 FM and sold over 30,000 copies in the first weeks of its release.
