Fully aware of the gloomy state of Nigeria and world at large, Nigerian up-and -coming artist, Moses Agbogun aka BoyMx, recently, released his new single, “Dey Here”, which he describes as, “A feel good song to lighten up the mood”.

BoyMx, an emerging artist to watch, and a stern lover of afro beats and afro swing, said the song released on June 16, 2021 is an upbeat afro beats tune that gets you to the dancefloor.

With over 60,000 streams across various digital streaming platforms, Dey Here is currently burning up the radio stations and dance floor in Nigeria and other African countries. His current single has gotten great reviews across Nigeria and other countries.

BoyMX’s music career kicked off in 2015 while at the Federal University of Technology, Yola (FUTY) now known as Modibbo Adama University of Technology (Mautech), Yola, when he dropped his first single ‘Ali’ which was well received and gained airplay in Kano, Kaduna, Yola and Abuja. He followed the success with the single ‘Sabi the flow’ which helped coin his alias.

BoyMx went on a short hiatus to complete his university education in the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, where he bagged a degree in Chemical Engineering with honours. He has gone on to release many freestyles and covers on Nigerian pop tunes.

Speaking on what inspired the new song, he said, “Dey Here” is a feel good song to lighten up the mood. This is simply one for the culture as my fans deserve to dance and be happy.”

The singer is a gifted lyricist and songwriter. His flow has a catchy laidback vibe which he infuses English, Pidgin, Hausa and Yoruba to produce what he calls Sabi Music.

BoyMx fell in love with music while growing up and made rap covers of Micheal Jackson songs.

Born Moses George Agbogunin Yola, this indigene of Ogori Magongo LGA in Kogi State, was brought up in Yola, Adamawa State, where he attended his primary and secondary schools – Abti International School and Abti Academy for Secondary, respectively.

He started his tertiary institution at FUTY, now Mautech, Yola, before moving to ABU, Zaria to complete a degree in Chemical Engineering.

His musical journey began in 2012 when he started writing music while also miming other hit songs by Nigerian and foreign artists.

“I am versatile with my music hence focusing on growing my sound came very easy for me. I rap fluently in Hausa, Pidgin, Yoruba, Patois and English”, the up and coming artiste recalled how it all started.

BoyMx as he is popularly called, started his music professionally in 2020 with a single titled “Work”, released on November 13th, 2020, a laid-back afro pop tune that sheds light on the need to hustle and to work for the good things of life.

On how he intends to break into the oversaturated Nigerian music space, he said, “I don’t ever see the industry as over-saturated; there is always space you just have to find it. The industry is constantly growing hence you have to bring something unique and fresh to the table as a new artist. I believe talent alone is not enough. You have to put in the work, learn from your mistakes and have a team.”

BoyMx is no doubt unique in his own way. “I feel my style of music is unique with my delivery, flow and my content is different”, he said.

He said fans should expect more single; relatable and unique music, adding “I have a mix of afro beats and hip-hop tunes for my fans and yes a body of work soon and EP. I am sure my fans will love every bit of it.”
