The son of a carpenter and a petty trader, Brymo owes his meteoric rise to prominence to his mother who was actually the first person that inspired him to create music. According to the singer, his mother loves fuji songs as much as she loves him and was very good at singing them with excitement.
Olawale Ashimi was born on May 9, 1986 in Okokomaiko, Lagos, Nigeria as the only child. His father was a carpenter from the Awori descent, and his mother an Egun petty trader. Brymo attended an Islamic school where he learnt how to recite the whole of the holy Qu’ran.
He started at Aganju Aka Primary School before moving to Japual Primary School. Next, he moved to Ajangbadi High School, Ajangbadi, Lagos where he graduated in 2003. Subsequently, he enrolled at Lagos State University, Ojo to study Zoology, but dropped out in his second year to fully pursue his music career.
