SELEBOBO is multitalented. He is not just a performing artiste, he is also a Songwriter, Dancer, Music producer, and Sound Engineer (MixMonsta).
It would not come as a surprise to know that he wrote and produced the majority of his songs.
Creativity flows in his bloodline.
His talent was nurtured by his father Mr. Goddy Oku, a well-known guitarist and musician of the 70’s. He started recording at the age of 7 in his father’s studio Godiac Studios, Enugu and by the time he was 12, he had started producing with his little Yamaha Djxkeyboard that his Father gifted him.
For someone so young, SELEBOBO is a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian music industry. In his
own words, his style of music is AfroBeats, which for him is a fusion of African music and culture, Pop, Caribbean, and hip-hop.
His unique and dynamic style is heavily influenced by his childhood idol Michael Jackson. This influence can be seen in his songs, His dancing, and his ability to sing.
It is an understatement to say that SELEBOBO is a very confident stage Performer. He has an undeniable energy which is very infectious.
This is not a surprise as he has been dancing for years and was a Member of a dance group called “SHADOWS” that contested in the Malta Guinness Street Dance Africa Competition in 2009. Despite his many talents, SELEBOBO is a down-to-earth, kind-hearted spirited individual. He believes that his inspiration comes from God and his environment and life experiences.
Suffice it to say that, the influence, contribution, and impact of SELEBOBO’s craft in the growth and evolution of Afro beats as you know it today is without doubt imperatively dominant.
