Baiyewu was born in London, England but moved to Nigeria at the age of five after the death of his father. Ten years later he moved back to the UK, going to college in Newcastle upon Tyne and obtained a degree in accounting. He saw posters advertising for a singer and subsequently met Paul Tucker — their partnership began quickly and they formed the Lighthouse Family.
