Caleb Imoisili

Caleb Imoisili a.k.a 'Prince K' was born and raised in Benin-City, Edo-State. Nigeria.
At a very young age, he quickly fell in love with the energetic music sessions at his local church and quickly signed up to be trained as a band member.

A creative multi-instrumentalist, Prince K’s ambition, natural talent, and hard work led him to master the trumpet, and the drums. He subsequently added keyboards and the bass guitar to his arsenal and essentially became an invaluable member of any band he
found himself in.

Prince K is currently working on his debut gospel album where he sings and plays the trumpet. As an ambitious singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist his future is limitless. But before then, enjoy his wonderful performance at NIDO Awards Gala in May
