As the Nigerian entertainment industry is experiencing a big boom in the post Covid-19 era, new vocalists that may shape the future of the industry keep springing up. One of the artistes who seem ready to take over the music space is Ayomide Alex Olanipekun who is famous as Boylexxy.
Call him Nigeria’s new vocalist attracting attention and raising the bar, then one may not be wrong as Boylexxy’s interest in music began when he was living in Atlanta with a friend who is also into music.
Speaking with R about his music vision and what inspired his career, Boylexxy said he was exposed tunes from some of Nigeria’s top music stars including K1 De Ultimate, Wizkid, Dagrin, among others early in life, as their songs and music arrangement gave him a clear-cut understanding about the Nigerian music culture and the path he wants to follow.
Having discovered his choice of music and the path to follow, the singer said he took a break from school to focus on music as this would later birth his debut single, Belinda, in 2019.
According to him, the track received positive reviews from fans and helped him rediscover what he described as a mix of production, high-energy vocals, and Afro-pop rhythms that led to the release of his second single “Gbon Gbon.”
With him featuring on Peruzzi’s new album, ‘Rum and Boogie’, Boylexxy says he is already having a feeling that 2021 would be a great year for him.
