NAIRA MARLEY
Contestant Number
2004
About Contestant
Naira Marley was conceived in Agege, Lagos State, Nigeria yet later moved to Peckham, South London when he was just 11-years of age. The vocalist settled on a choice sooner or later to help his MC companions in Peckham to deal with their rap vocations yet then discovered that he is skilled with regards to singing, this was the point where he started to investigate music. He began releasing his possibilities in the year 2014; Naira Marley found his singing ability when he was asked by his companions to sing in one of their account sessions in the studio which was only a joke. In the wake of seeing his ability and prospect in his music vocation, he at that point chose ultimately to seek after his music profession, and this time there is no returning. He proceeded to discharge one of the World glass melodies of the year titled ‘ISSA GOAL.’ He highlighted Olamide and Lil Kesh in the song where he melded the UK out of control drum designs with Party verses. His significant intrigue has dependably been to turn into a voice over craftsman and MC, and he used to pay for his companion’s studio sessions in the UK. He generally trusted he didn’t have a music ability yet in 2014, his companion’s induced him to hit to the studio, and after that, he discharged his first melody, ‘Wed Juana’ ft Max Twigz and it turned into a UK road jam. He came entirely into the spotlight after discharging his tune, ‘Issa Goal’ ft. Olamide and Lil Kesh. From that point forward, he has been having hits consecutive, and even to the questionable, ‘Am I A Yahoo Boy.’ It was the tune that got him into the EFCC net. As indicated by the news, Naira Marley bit EFCC’s ‘huge toe’ when he transparently celebrated the digital wrongdoing in Nigeria. Not just that, he additionally shook more tables even to the degree of calling bloggers cheats. The melody was a momentous achievement, as Nigerians are consistently fresh with such tunes and even took to the no1 slanting video on YouTube Nigeria, yet that didn’t spare him from EFCC net obviously, as it was reported that he’d go court soon
