Call him the original king of R&B in this millennial era and you most certainly won’t be wrong. Dare Art Alade has risen from being that little boy child who rummaged through his father’s jazz collection to becoming the entertainment industry’s ‘IT’ boy. Is it performing/recording, TV presenting, show hosting, voicing over or disc jockeying? You’ll find him there!

Although we missed out the opportunity to witness another edition of what has become Nigeria’s best organized music event ever – the Love Like A Movie concert, which Darey and his creative outfit puts together, we can’t help but reminisce on those good old times when vocal melodies that came deep from his heart were enough to serenade our soul.

Off his 2009 album un.DAREY.ted, is the Cobhams Asuquo produced R&B love ballad titled Not The Girl.
