Dbanj At 35; His Guts, His Travails...
Popular Nigerian musician, Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo internationally known as Dbanj today hits the age of 35.
To celebrate, the DB records boss it has gathered has decided to celebrate with his fans at a local food vendor known as 'Buka' situated Mushin area of Lagos.
Born on June 9, 1980 in the city of Zaira, Kaduna, Northern Nigeria to parents from Ijebu, Ogun state, Dbanj has over the years established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the Nigerian music industry. Dbanj who plays the harmonica, an instrument he inherited from his late brother emerged on the music scene in early 2005 alongside (now former) buddy and producer, Don Jazzy after the release of his monster single 'Tongolo'.
The duo went on to release impressive works together which saw the production of three albums 'No Long Thing, Funk You Up and The Entertainer'. The two partners would further enlarge their empire with the addition of other musicians to their Mo'hits imprint. This saw the signing of Dr. Sid, Wande Coal, D'Prince and K-Switch (the latter two being younger brothers of Don Jazzy and Dbanj respectively).
Mo'hits went on to release a compilation album 'Curriculum Vitae' which had popular tunes like 'Pere', 'Booty Call' and 'Ten Ten'.
In 2012, Dbanj and Don Jazzy's Mo'hits relationship ended after a much publicized unsettled difference which saw Don Jazzy establishing his own Mavin Records and Dbanj moving on to begin DB records with younger brother, K-switch being co-act.
Many observers are of the opinion that Dbanj might not really have surpassed his days while working with Don Jazzy since he moved on to do his own thing but the singer maintains he is absolutely doing well especially with the signing of new artists which include controversial Nollywood actress Tonto Dike aka Poko Lee.
