Jidenna was born in Wisconsin to an American
mother, Tama Mobisson, an accountant, and a
father of Igbo Nigerian heritage, Oliver Mobisson, a
professor of computer science at Enugu State
University until 1995, when the family moved from
Nigeria to Massachusetts. Jidenna's name in
the Igbo language means to 'embrace the father'.

Jidenna is signed to Janelle Monáe's Wondaland
Records label and distributed through Epic
Records. He has collaborated with numerous artists,
including Roman GianArthur, St. Beauty, Deep
Cotton and Janelle Monáe herself, recording a five-
song compilation EP titled The Eephus. In
February 2015, he released his first single, "Classic
Man", featuring Roman GianArthur, another
artist signed to Wondaland Records. The song has
been played in heavy rotation throughout the United
States and debuted at number 49 on Billboard
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. On March 31,
2015, the second single from the EP was released –
"Yoga" by Janelle Monáe and Jidenna.

ABOUT HIS HIT SONG - Classic Man

No, it's not an Old Spice commercial. (It does appear to be a
Beats By Dre commercial.) Opinions are liable to be widely
divergent on Nigerian artist Jidenna's “Classic Man,”
particularly after folks see the video. For the anti-ratchet
anthem—everyone in the record is dressed in the dandiest of
attire—it's a little funny how it relies on “ratchet” production,
but it's ultimately a go-for-the-gut pop song (whatever its
insistence to the contrary) with memorable melodic verses.
Jidenna is signed to Janelle Monae's Wondaland label, and that
can mean a following of people who complain in the comments
section about a song that is “insipid, unimaginative, over-reliant
on electronic manipulation of a very weak lead 'singer,'
gratuitously repetitive, and tries to keep us all awake with fits of
potty-mouth.”
