About D’Banj
With his infectious sound and electrifying stage performances, D’Banj earned the moniker ‘The Entertainer’ early in his career. He was one of the pioneers who laid the building blocks of Afrobeats’ global footprint, with achievements including a 2010 international collaboration with American rap legend Snoop Dogg, on Mr Endowed (Remix) and a 2011 global deal with Kanye West and his GOOD Music.
D’Banj became the first Nigerian musician to chart on the number nine spot on the UK Singles Chart with his monster hit, ‘Oliver Twist.’ His extensive global collaborations include working with stars such as Bono, Big Sean, Idris Elba and Fally Ipupa. His music has attracted major awards and recognitions from BET, MTV Africa Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, Soundcity Music Awards, Channel O Music Video Awards, The Headies and Nigeria Entertainment Awards.
