Early Life: From Ilorin to Stardom
Zlatan grew up in Ilorin, where music was everywhere – highlife, Fuji, and church beats. As a kid, he played drums in church, dreaming up his own sounds. He studied Business Administration at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) in Abeokuta but was always more about bars than books.
His big moment came at 19 when he won the 2014 Airtel One Mic Campus Tour, bagging a car and some serious clout. By 2017, his track “My Body” with Olamide blew up, landing him a deal with Alleluyah Boiz Entertainment. In 2018, “Able God” and “Zanku” made him a superstar, sparking a dance craze that swept the globe. He started Zanku Records in 2020, signing talents like Oberz. From speaking out during EndSARS to inking deals with Coca-Cola, Zlatan’s all about impact at 30.
