Unlike pop music where everything appears glamorous and ‘tush’, Fuji music is seen as ‘razz’ and sung by ‘area boys’. As a result, discovering new talent is a rarity in the genre.
Enter Destiny Boy, who at 13 years of age is clearing a path for himself through Fuji music.
Born Afeez Adesina in Agege, Destiny Boy’s association with Fuji music began from childhood, having been influenced by his immediate environment where Fuji was the music of choice. But then he was born in an era when Nigerian pop music was becoming quite the rage.
Before long he started miming popular songs from the likes of 2face, Dbanj, Wande Coal and creatively infusing it with a Fuji tone. Soon enough friends and family noticed the talent he had and started pushing him to do it more actively.
When he spoke to NET, the young Fuji sensation said, ‘I used to sing for my classmates at age 7 and I then started going to T2 Boys studios where I was discovered and started going to shows.’
Today, he’s a viral social media sensation that a lot of music lovers are paying attention to his talent.
Watch his full interview above.
