About Orlando Julius & His Modern Aces

Starting out in the late 60's when his uncle, the late I.K. Dairo MBE bought him his first saxophone, Orlando Julius rose quickly to the top of the music field. By the early 70s, he was competing with Afrobeat doyen Fela Kuti for dominance in the Afrobeat realm. In the late 1970s and early 80's Orlando released a series of stunning records which won critical acclaim. Following on this momentum, Orlando took his band and moved to the US where he spent the next 15 years building a fan base of Americans. In 1998, Orlando and wife Latoya moved back to Nigeria where he instantly became a force in the market and has risen to a leadership role in the musicians union and other seminal Nigerian musician's organizations.
