DB Exclusive Interview With AdekunleGold,The Guy Who Photo shopped Himself With Toolz, Tiwa Savage And Tonto Dikeh.

When we talk of Photoshop experts, we sure have heard of Adekunle Gold (Kosoko Adekunle). The guy who had the courage to meet people he never really met. The guy who photo shopped himself with Toolz, Tonto Dikeh and Tiwa Savage. Does it ring a bell yet? I’m sure it does.  See Pictures below.  He granted an Interview with Oluwaseyitan (Desseys Blog) about his career, what motivated him to make the bold steps and what we should expect from him soon.

So everyone is wondering who Adekunle Gold is.. Can you tell us about yourself?
                I’m just a not too old guy who has got so much drive with greatness being the only thing I think about. A philanthropist, a lover of God and humanity.

How did your career as a graphic designer start?
                I studied Arts and design but majored in Graphics at the Lagos state polytechnic. I was almost a lawyer. Was trying hard to fight back my love for arts. With time I came to terms with my dream s. I believed and knew i would do exploits being an artist and I crave and love anything beautiful.


So can you tell us what made you do the Photoshop job with Toolz, Tiwa and Tonto Dike?
                *Laughing… you know
there are times when you just get bored of going the same thing always. I was bored that particular day and the asked my friend to take a couple of pictures. I did what I know how to do best. My friends thought I was crazy but then I did it, everyone laughed, it spread, some criticized, some said I was famzing. I got a lot of comments. I was happy about all the responses though. Even my boss at work praised me.

So other than been a Designer and Photoshop guru, what else do you do?
                Well, I’m a singer; I belong to an upcoming pop duo “The Bridge”.

Where do you see yourself in 5years?
                With God on my side, I see myself as a successful singer that would change lives with songs and my substance. I also intend to own a very big African company (I don’t want to reveal yet)

What’s your message to youths?
                Let your dreams be silly. Be bigger on the inside than on the outside and my favorite quote “By the time I’m done, You’ll bless God for me”. Don’t stop dreaming, stay resilient and do exploits.

What is the next big thing we should be expecting from you with Photoshop?
                Something spectacular and different. Don’t worry you would see it when I’m done with it…. You could be in it. Don’t be surprised..
