Early Life

Damibliz started singing in his school’s cultural group at a young age when he was “picked on” by a teacher to do so. He was also part of the school’s comedy and acting class. He finally realized he wanted to pursue music as a career at the age of 10 after listening to a Michael Jackson song. From that moment, he saved any money he made from a part time job he had at the time to pay for studio sessions. In 2016, Damibliz moved to the UK.


Career

Damibliz released his debut single “Jowabayi” in 2018. Jowabayi is a blend of Yoruba, English and Pidgin (broken English). It was a collaboration with Afrobeat record producer and singers Mystro and Naira Marley. Jowabayi was later remixed with Afrobeat singer CDQ joining the original line-up. The song entered charts worldwide including in the UK, Nigeria, Ghana, USA, South Africa and Kenya.

 

Damibliz has performed at sold out shows in major venues in the UK including the O2 Arena and Felabration. He has shared the stage with, to name a few, Diamond Platnumz, Wizzkid, Davido, Burna Boy and Yemi Alade. Jowabayi is still one of the most played songs worldwide.

Damibliz put Peckham UK on the map with his song Jowabayi, the video was shot entirely in the Peckham area which has a large population of Nigerians and his slogan “All di way from Peckham Iyayin” can be heard in most of his street anthems.

 

Damibliz has since released other singles including Island Freestyle and Medulla. He has also been featured on songs by other Afrobeat artists including “Ikebe” and “Melanine Popping” by Young Chap, “Aise You Foot” by Double A, “Lamba” by Bawizo, “Burundi” by Subzilla and many others.
