Who Is Burna Boy by mikuz(m): 10:17am On Aug 03, 2012
Burna Boy is known for his smooth Patois-influenced Dance-hall crooning, and most especially for his hit singles “Abeg Abeg Abeg”, “Party Wit Me”, “Firewood”, “Touch Your Toes”, “Like To Party” and the Davido -assisted “Trumpet” .
But, he wasn’t always a party starter, Burna Boy was born Damini Ogulu on 2nd July, 1991. Hailing from Ahoada, Rivers State, he was born and raised in the Garden City, Port Harcourt; attending Montessori International School for his primary education before moving to Lagos. He went to Corona, Agbara for his secondary school education, after which, while furthering his studies in the UK, found his true calling to be music…
So, from the city who brought us such massive successes as Timaya and Duncan Mighty , let me introduce you to the christened P ort Harcourt’s Next Son … Burna Boy .
Burna Boy ‘s grandfather, Benson Idons was the manager of Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti. So, it’s no surprise what his early influences to music were or the type of music frequently played in the Ogulu residence.
Burna Boy officially broke into themusic industry in December 2010 when he moved back to Nigeria from London, and has since been bringing in the hits bumping speakers all over Port Harcourt. But, It wasn’t until June, 2012, when he made a cross-over to theLagos music scene with his mid-tempo Summer Jam, “Like To Party” that the budding star got the media sphere in a serious buzz.
Burna Boy is a splendid vocalist and he oozes versatility as his unique sound blends Dance-hall, Afrobeat, R&B and Hip-Hop into one tightly knit package. His songs span from ballads full of depth, sometimes to controversialsubject matter as well as, as his Dance-hall tendency implies, songs that are just meant to get you in the mood for the groove.
Signed to Aristokrat Records and, more often than not, teaming up with their in-house producer, the acclaimed Leriq ; Burna Boy has been able to churn out two hot mixtapes – “Burn Notice” and “Burn Identity” back in April and November, 2011 respectively. “Burn Notice” produced the catchy anthem “Abeg Abeg Abeg” ; the soulful “Sweetest Girl” featuring Leriq and the dance-hallcandy, “Wombo Lombo Something”.
