My Greatest Achievement is Grooming, Uplifting The Youths, Says Double6ix Besong

The world may be filled with many talented beings from across different sectors and industries, but few always stand out from others.

Their success can be attributed to their relentless drive and dedication and their zeal to achieve tremendous feats in the industry.

Besong Williams Obi, famously known as Double6ix, is the music label owner of D6R Entertainment, one of the few doing precisely this in the ever-evolving entertainment world.

Born in Nsadop in Boki Local Government Area of Cross River state, he moved to Lagos, where he had his early education.

He attended Early Years Exclusive Primary School before proceeding to Mayflower, where his love of music started.

Double6ix was the social director for his school hostel at the time. Coming out of secondary school, he veered into learning music production in studios at Agric Ikorodu, Lagos, as he geared to master his craft.

An Alumnus of the Lagos State Polytechnic, his love for tourism has taken him across a few African countries where he has gone to meet colleagues in the entertainment industry.

The music producer is a lover of nature, a quiet political ideologist who believes so much in Pan Africa.

He stated that music and travelling keep him in check at all times.

During his production days, he came across many talents in the city of Ikorodu who later became known as superstars.

In 2017, he made his first move to sign an artiste but could not due to financial difficulties. But in 2019, he finally started his label and signed his first artiste, SAUCEE.

A year later, he signed T Dollar, a force in the industry.

In an interview, he said: “My journey has been rough. But I thank God for keeping me to date.

“I’ve looked up to many celebrities in the industry, but Don Jazzy is my Idol. He inspired me to be where I am today. I appreciate him for that.”

He also narrated how he has groomed many youths and would still love to contribute to many more lives

“Today, my label, D6R Entertainment, currently has four artistes who are doing well.

“They are T Dollar, SAUCEE, LONGTYM, and SOFTI. They inspired me to take the label to a globally recognised world Entertainment outfit,” he chipped in.
