    He has pioneered a lot of movement in the industry and assisted various artists to stardom.

    Mr Eazi’s rise to fame will not be complete without mentioning Wizkid.

    Born as Oluwatosin Ajibade, Eazi has become a force to reckon with in the music industry.

    The 29-year-old Port Harcourt singer started gaining prominence when his path crossed that of Wizkid’s.

    Though he has been aired in Ghana, but there was little to no fame in his birth country Nigeria.

    However, in 2016, Wizkid announced Eazi would be joining Starboy Worldwide alongside Efya and R2Bees.

    Being affiliated with Wizkid was the turnaround for him and his music career.

    His songs started gaining ground and soon Eazi rose from a rookie to achieving tremendous feats in the industry.

     

    L.A.X:

    Initially, he started out as a rapper and was part of a three-man group called Flyboiz while he was still in high school.

    Having signed a major-label deal with  Starboy Entertainments in 2013, he released the critically acclaimed song titled “Caro” which won him the “Diaspora Artiste of The Year” at the 2014 edition of the Nigeria Entertainment Awards.
