His involvement in the production of this magazine honed his writing abilities, and after graduation he set up his own blog, alongside freelancing for Slyk and Distinct magazines. The success of his blog and the far-reaching effect of the reportage created a deep-seated vigor for media further gave him much exposure on the inner-workings of entertainment and media and what it takes to grow in this field.
Ajele Owolabi a.k.a “Cashintransit” has helped nurture many upcoming artistes in his capacity as a talent manager; giving them advice on where their strength should lie in terms of their career, and how they should go about the publicity of their intellectual property.
