Patoranking is arguably the pioneer of the modern reggae-dancehall in Nigeria.
Nigerian reggae-dancehall musician Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie, better known by his stage name Patoranking, was born on May 27, 1990.
Reggae-dancehall in Nigeria is nothing to write home about now unlike the time of Majek Mashek and the likes, Timaya slightly threaded the path but carved out a niched from it, but Patoranking has been able to fuse afro to reggae to create something smooth which I refer as modern reggae-dancehall in Nigeria.
Patoranking is an Ebonyi State native who was born and reared in Ijegun-Egba Satellite Town.
He began his musical career by working informally with musicians including XProject, Konga, Slam, and Reggie Rockstone.
In 2010, he inked a record deal with K-Igberaga Solo’s Records, whose imprint he used to release “Up in D Club.” Following their collaboration on Timaya’s song “Alubarika,” Patoranking was accepted as a protégé by Dem Mama Records.
He obtained a record deal with Foston Musik in February 2014 and dropped the tune “Girlie O,” which propelled him to fame.
Patoranking revealed on Instagram on February 9 that he has struck a distribution agreement with VP Records.
