Elvis Poko, fondly known as “sweet papi,” is set to make waves with his debut album Waterside Boy, a 13-track journey that combines Afro-pop rhythms with echoes of his riverine roots in Arogbo, Ondo State, Nigeria. Inspired by his heritage, Waterside Boy is a deeply personal project crafted during tranquil moments by the water’s edge, bringing listeners closer to the heart of Poko’s musical soul.
On December 8, 2024, Elvis with his unique band D’Annonymous 90 will perform his Debut album WATERSIDE BOY and his latest single, “OPUKEMI,” live in Lagos, showcasing his unique Afro-pop sound. Dabinchi Global Entertainment and One Pound Promotions LTD will be collaborating on this event.
Produced by Isound Beatz, Waterside Boy melds genres from Highlife and Fuji to Afrobeat and Hip Hop. This album pays homage to legends like Eko Toikumor, Fela Kuti and Barrister Smooth, capturing Elvis’s view of music as a unifying force. Despite growing acclaim, he remains rooted in his origins, stating, “This sound is an inspiration from the creeks of Arogbo. My best is yet to come.”
Elvis Poko is already a household name in Nigeria, known for his comedic talent in film and live performances, drawing sold-out audiences across the country. Now, UK fans will experience his distinct blend of comedy and music, redefining Afro-pop for an international stage.
