Azeez Adeshina Fashola (born 10 May 1991), known professionally as Naira Marley, is a British-Nigerian singer, songwriter and rapper. He is known as the president of his controversial fan base, "Marlians"

At the age of 11, Fashola moved to Peckham, South London, England. He graduated with a distinction in business from Peckham Academy in 2010. He also studied business law at Crossways College (now Christ the King Sixth Form College).

While growing up, Fashola had plans of becoming an MC and a voice-over artist. He began rapping in 2013 after discovering his passion for music and was encouraged by close-knit friends from the Queens Roads area in Peckham to pursue his music career. He released the Max Twigz-assisted track "Marry Juana" before releasing his debut EP Gotta Dance in 2014.

In December 2017, he released the Olamide and Lil Kesh-assisted single "Issa Goal", which became the theme song for the Super Eagles at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The official remix of "Issa Goal" was released on 16 June 2018; it featured vocals by Olamide, Lil Kesh, Falz, Simi and Slimcase.

Marley sings in English, Pidgin and Yoruba; his musical style spans Afrobeats, Street pop and hip-hop. He derived his stage name from Jamaican singer Bob Marley, whom he admires; his dreadlocks are also a tribute to the singer.
