With members of his immediate and extended family playing instruments and singing, music was a part of his upbringing, but it wasn’t exactly a career field that was encouraged by parents in Nigeria.His persistence and perseverance eventually gained him the nickname Nazodobas,which eventually evolved into NazB and became his rapper alias,In his early teens, he began performing at local clubs and slowly building a loyal audience. He soon sadly realized that he was unable to gain the support of his beloved parents.

“They thought I had lost my way doing music,” he says. “They wanted me to do something better for my future.”

Thankfully, NazB persevered in his musical dreams… making it as a songwriter and rapper was his future, and he knew it. Nigeria and NazB’s parents, it seems, couldn’t hold him back. He made the tough decision at 18 to leave home and make a musical name for himself outside of his home country. NazB hit the road and eventually lived among the street life of Mali, The Ivory Coast, Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, Surinam and Brazil.

The independence and growing musical confidence he found on the road were tempered with the hard life and hardships of making it on his own. NazB always knew within that his talent and his musical vision were destined for far better things. His struggle and his travels together forged his style and sound.

“The many places I’ve been have influenced me,” he says. “It all sounds different – you can hear different flavors and elements within my music.”

Now calling Zurich, Switzerland, home. With the release of his second album “Out From Da Jungle‟, NazB is ready to hit the musical mainstream with his unique blend of African inspired pop, hip hop and RnB.

The album tells the story of a young African man chasing his dream in Europe. Sound like a familiar tale? Well, in many ways it is NazB‟s own story. In that sense, this is a particularly personal record. And it‟s all the better for it.

The lyrics -by turns funny, serious, profound and witty -tell real life stories of the artist‟s experiences of living on the streets and of confronting issues around race, poverty, religion and politics.

NazB has also enjoyed recent top exposure on Switzerland’s Robo Clip SF2 Television, and on Canadian Music Television as well as TV play in Africa. he was the most voted Coca Cola’s Music Artist for 2009 in Switzerland.

He performed his brand of international new-school hip-hop at venues in various countries such as : Nigeria, Togo, Senegal, Surinam, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, UK, Brazil, USA and Local Switzerland clubs

As a nod to NazB’s songwriting and performing talent, he was among the top 500 song contest winners on the 16th annual Billboard song contest. NazB also had the privilege of opening the World Thai Boxing Championships in 2007 @ Jako Arena Bamberg Germany (The Champions Club Fight Night). With a load of studio and performing credentials under his belt and his future in music wide open, NazB says he keeps going for the joy and passion he finds in his music.

“Whether I’m rapping about love or poverty, racism or religious discrimination, or just telling the listener about something I’ve gone through, I find freedom and inspiration in the freedom of speech. I call it rap music from my soul.
