Ajala means"dedicated to God" and has Spanish, French and Yoruba resonances, reflecting his Trinidadian heritage.

He was born in 1961 in San Juan, Trinidad, predominantly an East Indian community.

Ajala draws on deep spiritual reserves for his music and motivation as spirituality has always been an active part of his music. He grew up with his grandmother, a staunch Baptist in the Orisha tradition and Ajala was often found beating drums at Shango Fest.

His singing career began as a member of a Traditional Indian singing group. In 1974, he joined Night Wind Rebellions for five years before joining top local band Kalyan.

In 1980, he formed his own band, Metropolitan Superstars, but by 1981 he was one of the four vocalist in the popular band Fireflight. In 1988 he helped form the successful band Taxi.

In 1989, he went to New York to join the band Axis. There he worked with Keith Diamond, Micheal Bolton, James Ingram and Paul Pesco (Chaka Khan and Madonna's Lead Guitarist). Labels like Arista, CBS and Sire were interested in signing Axis, but Ajala had to return to Trinidad to meet pressing family commitments.

His voice is extremely versatile, with his range covering Soca, R&B, Reggae and Pop. His live performances are pumped with his extraordinary and infectious enthusiasm.
