About 12Boy
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
One of my earliest musical memories takes me back to my childhood, hearing my mom rehearsing and performing as an Afro juju artist. The house was always filled with rhythm, drums, and that unique energy her music carried.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Burna Boy, African Giant
Olamide, Street OT
StarBoy, SoundMan, Vol. 1 (feat. Wizkid)
Burna Boy – “African Giant”
This one made me proud as an artist from Africa. It showed the world how far our sound can travel and how powerful our culture is when we own it. That album motivates me to go harder every time I step in the studio.

“Night & Day”
I chose Night & Day because it reflects my hustle and the energy I put in around the clock. It’s a reminder of my journey and why I create music in the first place.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
One of the most memorable moments in my career was hearing my song played in front of a live crowd for the first time. Seeing people I didn’t even know singing along and feeling the energy I put into the track gave me chills.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
There’s definitely more on my list as an artist. I still want to take my sound worldwide, collaborate with some of the legends I grew up listening to, and keep building a legacy that inspires the next generation.
