I’m an all-round entertainer —Doggext

Fast-rising singer and performer, Jamiu Bolarinwa a.k.a, Doggext, who has been able to carve a niche for himself with his music brand, has restated his commitment to give his best musically through classic and unique sounds.

The Ogun-State-born, who revealed that his stage name, Doggext was a combination of the names his favourite rappers while growing up, Snoop Dogg and DMX, added that, DoggX seems unserious, so, I added ‘E’ before X and ‘T’ after X. But on a more serious note, Doggext is also from the world doggedness.  It describes who I am. I am a quite persistent person, especially when I want anything and I don’t relent until I get it.

“I’ll say Doggext is a funny character. He’s energetic, lively and an all-round entertainer.  I am a versatile rapper and good singer, but dancing is not one of them,” he said.

Speaking on his growing up, Doggext said, he was not born with a silver spoon, adding that, “I grew up in a lot of places, but Mushin is the place that puts a mark on the person I have become today. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon, but was also not catered for in a dirt poor environment either. I was raised to appreciate and love anything and everything that life offers me. I chose Doggext, because it sounds African, even though the spelling might suggest otherwise. Doggext defines me as an artiste,” he said.
