About Djinee

Djinee is a Nigerian urban artist with a rock edge. In a short while, he has achieved a track record of hit songs from the very first single he dropped. "Ego" was a pleasant and sweet surprise to the Nigerian audience. With just one song, albeit intense, Djinee stamped his authority on the music scene, embellishing our music thirst with sweet lyrics and amazing vocals. We fell in love. It was his powerful yet emotion laden voice– like squeaky steel - that caught the ears of a record label "Westside Inc." where he released the debut hit single "Ego". His pitch perfect vocal ability on the song brought him accolades amongst which are "Best new artiste" at the Nigerian Music Awards in London and several nominations followed. And it didn't end there, from that soulful journey of finding his "Ego', Djinee took us one a compelling trip where he mesmerized our desires with more songs like "I no deyshame" "Lade"…and just when we wanted to put a tag on him as the soft music man, he came out with one of the most imposing songs in the music scene at the time. It was "Overkillin". Becoming an anthem was expected and so his brand gained profound respect amongst his peers and the many fans all over Africa and the Diaspora.
