Blessed with awe and suavity of a gentleman, laced with a sonorous voice, Balogun Adewale Akanji, popularly known as Barry Shokey, is not a rookie in the music scene, most especially, the fuji genre of music.

His astronomic rise in the Fuji music genre, is not in anyway related to his riding on the popularity of his late father and creator of the Fuji music, Late Alhaji Ayinde Barrister, but Barryshokey is indeed a born artiste blessed with a dexterous talent.

Presently resides in the United States of America, Barry Shokey while he was in Nigeria, attended Victory Nursery & Primary Ojota, Lagos, and proceeded to A-Z International School, Ajao Estate. Thereafter, he proceeded to Gideon International school before travelling to reside overseas. 

At a point, while many of his peers were busy spending the stupendous wealth of their father, Barryshokey found solace in music.

He choose to tread on the path his father followed by carving a niche for himself, notching over 8 album to his credit which sold platinum on it release date.
However, he was one of the first Fuji artiste who infused Fuji music into Hip Hop Music in year 2002, under Kenny Music.
He was rewarded for his sheer dint of hard work with a nomination at the prestigious KORA AWARD held in South Africa.
Even in the face of sheer criticism, Barry remained dogged and stayed through to his dreams which finally payed off for him with a wide fan base both in Nigeria and other European countries.
It was gathered that Barryshokey is returning home (Nigeria) with more fire power.
Nobody does his style of Fuji music as the lacuna he left while he was away is yet to be filled.
The dude is returning to fill it up.
The singer is said to be ready to thrill all his fans in Nigeria with more hit songs.
On his return, he has been scheduled to perform at some gigs and making other special appearance.
He has been booked for events till December 2018.
He will drop a smashing yet-to-be titled track this September for his teeming fans.
